Now what.

The left hand side rear of the bottom of the coffin nailed to the back
rear of the coffin with two nails. The back rear of the coffin nailed to
the floor of the coffin with two nails. The floor of the coffin nailed to
the right hand side of the coffin with two nails. The right hand side rear
of the coffin nailed to the back rear of the coffin with two nails. The
front of the coffin nailed to the left hand side of the coffin with two
nails. The floor of the coffin nailed to the front of the coffin with two
nails. The right hand side of the coffin nailed to the front of the coffin
with two nails. The front of the coffin nailed to the top of the coffin
with two nails. The left hand side of the coffin nailed to the top of the
coffin with two nails. The top of the coffin nailed to the right hand side
of the coffin with two nails. Now what is left out. What will fall apart.
The right hand side rear of the coffin has been nailed to the back rear of
the coffin with two nails. The floor of the coffin has not been nailed to
the left hand side of the coffin with two nails. The floor of the coffin
nailed to the left hand side of the coffin with two nails. Now what.

I am this.

I am a nail in the left rear bottom of the coffin. I am a nail in the
lower left back of the coffin. I am a nail in the upper front right of the
coffin. I am a nail in the lower right rear of the coffin. I am a nail in
the left rear of the top of the coffin. I am a nail in the right rear of
the top of the coffin. I am a nail in the right front of the top of the
coffin. I am a nail in the front left bottom of the coffin. I am a nail in
the left front bottom of the coffin. I am a nail in the right front bottom
of the coffin. I am a nail in the upper left rear of the coffin. I am a
nail in the lower right front of the coffin. I am a coffin that it may
remain. I am a coffin that it may hold fast and for long. I am a coffin
that it may carry until the day is long. I am a coffin that it may last
until the remains of the day. That it falls open, I am this. That it
spills, I am this. That it pours forth, I am this. A nail I am not, but I
am this.

teeter


the big clock struck the hour of doom
the small clock struck the hour of gloom
all of us heard the distant boom
as the boom was lowered and the room
shrank plank to plank and the flume
burst in the gloom of a womb
and doom as flooding made a tomb
from the room spurting a plume
of smoke choked and yoked to a fume
from the thunder's womb, va voom, va voom,
va voom, va voom, va voom, va voom.
