IV. SORRY LOAFING
   
Steven: Look, it’s a
sorry loafing
peace of meal
halcyon
cheap and soft
brain surrender!
High-strung, preserving
effusion hoop
– damp!
When to toast
Liberace sunrise?
I’m valiant!
Texas toast
led in tow
over by the brain?
Imp–healthy?
Is that what you’ve been thinking?
Adept – adapt
newsgroup, whence
lingo horseshow
hat! She saw!
(You’ve enemies in your brain stem.)
Me? I’m
ugly, Katherine,
but you’ve
gold the sunrise?
Liberace sunrise?
Spittoon malfunctioning?
Is that you
wuz an unc cuz sez
maybe… under umbrellas?
Is that what you were
this Brady Family Christmas?
Kate: I’m not Christmas.
Steven: No, you’re Calabi-Yau –
Aching in fin shawl
over Liberace sunrise –
Kate: Stop it!
Perhaps.
Perhaps.
With one sunrise,
I’ll take eleven.
One is like a custom,
but inside,
but inside,
I even take eleven.
And since I can,
I can.
(You, I gather, can’t.)
Parse me the custom
– I parse twelve,
cut off one.
Slice is an ideal,
but twelve is ridiculous.
I take eleven.
(You, I gather, can’t.)
But here,
here,
at one feet.
Lachrymose.
(I think it is one feet.
One feet past eleven!)
Steven: What are you mumbling?
Kate: My toast to sunrise.
Steven: What
sunrise?
Kate: In vanishing.
In Vanishing Point, Montana.
Great Plan of the Frame Robberies.
Story at eleven.
