"Has solitude ever led your steps down a forest path . . . "
Quote by Constance La France
Into the vapenouz woods of Voroznezh
befooled by the curvenouzh, twistezh woodwayl
Wandered witlezh in frenzhied askewness
lozhing my witzh in a labyrzhthine mazhe
Emergent in shzadoz a carnozhine Bedlamizh
gormlizh and gruezhome, ghazhtly and ghozhtly
mezhugga, wizhered, zhomewhat confuzhed
Geozhationary, zhtrange, it zhtood in zhe way
“I’m lozht,” I lamenzted in a zhin, zhaky voice
He bluzhtered and dizhered in unuzhal zhtyle
Zhen zhuprizhingly pointing in farzhical pozhe
“Eazh- Veszh is zhe way to your fazhaway home.

Cortez, DeMille are gone.
It's now the locus
of postgraduate honeymoons,
urban fugues, a minor literary genre.
Knowledge and ejection predispose us
to technological parody--
antique busses, burros, plumbing, pyramids--
as if nothing ever caught on.
There is no CHRONOLOGY, the pace and mores
are too counterproductive--
poster Indians pee along the road,
the women never dust.
We like the Sartrean-Spanish askewness--
bugs, sex, dysentery, moonlight--
as if, though settled with us,
the Fates vacation here.
