Again, my computer ran off.  I had better write down the whole complete thing
here.

What is the bang of the beat?
What is the bang of the no beat?
and what sound is the echo of fear
of the noise of anticipated shots of the gun
as the syllables perpetrate their artillery shock?

Is it the war of syllables?
Is it the war of words?
As the noise of silence
carries the fear of what will come?

"You have heard the beat of the offshore wind
"and the thresh of the deep sea rain ....
"Pull out on the trail again,"
Or the shots of the word will not hide you.
