i liked the movement of this/these, Dominic, as well as the
undercutting of the understatements, how they work.
in relation to another thread, i just read the LRB review of Muldoon's
latest books, including his Oxford Lectures, in which he apparently
plugs for a) play & not subjects, & b) suggests that you can't write
without 'echoes' (so to speak), a kind of quotation, which i also see
in these, & allusively as all get out.

lipsynching awe all the way to the grave of the unknown onus:
memory stutter; one smidgen, one scantling of thank.
