Now reading

in new countries more eloquent than elsewhere

surprised by ammonites

                    & other irrefutable

      proofs of           humility                    on their heads

                                                   mtns of old

               countries

                             skip                         like rams

                             if I am

                         neat

           rams cannot stay here

           the newness says so
