Artemis [reprise] [or selfy after William Carlos Williams]

all the bald anthems
in our sugarginger cars
as we sought our purchased highs
those mighty raring heraldries
throwing stones for our besties
for all our pious thieves & showmen
all up in the drifty fabrics of these seas
as the elements sing as we placate
information, our wounds alert
& tearing, our arrows echoing
