What accounts for the Bellman’s condition
superimposed accelerated accumulation
Toxic metals in his vertebrate frame
trace the reply
regarding social danger
His oracle quickly stated
Crown over portcullis and chains
counter-read as a smudge of lipstick
on handwritten envelope
carefully posted with a complex of
white floral fragrance with tuberose and jasmine
top notes on a chypre and spicy background
Gets up the nose
The toxicity of mobilised metals
exceeds the total van load
of radioactive and organic wastes
measured by the beer needed to dilute them
The Bellman’s drinking water
fraught with influence without modification
anticipates abandon read in the tumbler
A second genetic code remains largely undeciphered
his structure of enzymes coupled each amino acid
to an appropriate transfer in his molar fillings
His language both non-degenerate and Ah! Bellman!
More deterministic than a frozen accident
What what courage and fortune overlap provide
scales of or on the top edge of a garden fence
Hi! there! decisions between gravity and entropy
produce call it a drawing
after an essential repair of neuron
restitution but not reversal
The probabilities of his processual kinetics accords
a knowing that cannot exclude the uncertainty of its frame
On his cart most obstacles to complete
mixing are incomplete
There is no automatic spread fag
fag even if the shape of it horseshoes
rather than elliptically poxes
The visualisation of his future
Ah the fluid thought mixes fatigue
distinguishes chaotic trajectories
Who make the rules need to know disorder well
Different patterns do not necessarily work
the satisfaction in different ways
It’s proof that the Umpire sits in pain
holds the balance
a metallic mouth speaks
openly astride the main shaft
oil warms gained by the mass in its fall
A collapsed transgression recites to a stenographic fix
a hum in the Bellman’s ear
encourages a different mixture
merges panic
with a drawn down squareness or
what they were becomes what they appear to be
machines spinning his resounding bell
A figure called Success drops from his tailboard
holds a dish in righthand
in left an ear of metallic corn and dead poppies
The condition arrives at attunement as it moves through
broken quarry stones in the forecourt of Granvile arcade
plastic leaves blown from turbulent warnings
touched by the hand as it is taken away
from asking its question
