...the Russian films into
Italian & Japanese films turned, while many
were prevented from making it.

He wishing he could squirm again where Hoot
is just ahead of rustlers, where William S
forgoes some deep advantage, & moves on,
where Hashknife Hartley having the matter taped
the rats are flying. For the rats
have moved in, mostly, and this is for real....Read more of this...

...Flak. An eventful thought came to me,
who squirm in my hole. How will the matter end?
Who's king these nights?
What happened to . . . day? Are ships abroad?
I would like to but may not entertain a friend.
Save me from ghastly frights,

Triune! My wood or word seems to be rotting.
I daresay I'm collapsing. Worms are at hand.
No, all that froze,
I mean the blood. 'O get up & go in'
somewhere once I he...Read more of this...

...all
When the rain begins to fall;
Like a soul gone mad with pain
I must match its weird refrain;
Ever must I twist and squirm,
Writhing like a baited worm,
While its primal measures drip
Through my body, crying, "Strip!
Doff this new exuberance.
Come and dance the Lover's Dance!"
In an old remembered way
Rain works on me night and day.

Quaint, outlandish heathen gods
Black men fashion out of rods,
Clay, and brittle bits of stone,
In a likeness like their own,

...and I haven't caught a single trout.

 I've lost every trout I ever hooked.

 They either jump off

 or twist off.

 or squirm off

 or break my leader

 or flop off

 or **** off.

 I have never even gotten my hands on a trout.

 For all its frustration,

 I believe it was an interesting experiment

 in total loss

 but next year somebody else

 will have to go trout fishing.

 Somebody else will have to go

 out there."

When I will laugh and let him know
 My mistress is his wife.
Today a doormat for his feet,
 He loves to see me squirm . . .
Tomorrow,--how revenge is sweet!

...r him much;
Wuz just a plain dorg, an' contented to be
On peaceable terms with the neighbors an' me;
Used to fiddle an' squirm, and grunt "Oh, how nice!"
When I tickled the back of that bench-legged fyce!

He wuz long in the bar'l, like a fyce oughter be;
His color wuz yaller as ever you see;
His tail, curlin' upward, wuz long, loose, an' slim -
When he didn't wag it, why, the tail it wagged him!
His legs wuz so crooked, my bench-legged pup
Wuz as tall settin' down as he wuz ...Read more of this...

...operation- 
I fear that `e'll `ave to `ave gas." 

"`Ow much is this `ere goin' to cost me?" 
Said Father, beginning to squirm. 
"I'm afraid that it comes out expensive- 
The best gas is eight pence a therm. 

There's my time, six shillings an hour; 
You can't do these things in two ticks- 
By rights I should charge you a guinea, 
But I'll do it for eighteen and six." 

"Wot, eighteen and six to get sovereign?" 
Said Father, "That doesn't sound sense

...en wrote to make his mark.

Certainly he scored it, bold, and black, and firm,
In that Indian paper -- made his seniors squirm,
Quated office scandals, wrote the tactless truth --
Was there ever known a more misguided youth?

When the Rag he wrote for praised his plucky game,
Boanerges Blitzen felt that this was Fame;
When the men he wrote of shook their heads and swore,
Boanerges Blitzen only wrote the more:

Posed as Young Ithuriel, resolute and grim,

...yond the bridge at Slough; 
Went up against a Loathly Worm 
That wasted all the Downs, 
And so the roads they twist and squirm 
(If a may be allowed the term) 
From the writhing of the stricken Worm 
That died in seven towns. 
I see no scientific proof 
That this idea is sound, 
And I should say they wound about 
To find the town of Roundabout, 
The merry town of Roundabout, 
That makes the world go round.

Whose lantern lights the meads

...d prickly door.

To every man
His twilight flash
Of luminous recall
 of tiptoe years
 in leaf-stung flight;
 of days of squirm and bite
 that waved antennas through the grass;
 of nights
 when every moving thing
 was girlshaped,
 expectantly turning.

To every man
His house below
And his house above—
With perilous stairs
Between....Read more of this...

...It costs me never a stab nor squirm
To tread by chance upon a worm.

"Your clan will pay me back one day."...Read more of this...
