Intimate Abstractions
and
Abstract Intimations

Hard fought, soft spun,
Aphorisms, punnings,
Cadgings, confabulations,
Some overborn, some underdone,
In false starts and dead stops

From withering heights
To bathetic depths
Base notions done up
In low-brow, high-arch style

Layed out in fond foist
Upon all my friends
Both met and not

May you all chuckle
Long into the dark
