XIV. In the Namewakes

Ur Popeye out of stir sub rosa
with Liquid Santa windswept and
by nothing less than the ionosphere

like Ben Bulben on climatology
the Lay of the Last Whammy
"keep them mince pies off me"

Lumberjack the Sailor
splits his face in half of quartz
"Morning Mr Greengreen

two small everythings"
why Sargasso Sea are you so geek
nature's pencil point light years away

to a tiny repeated molecular bigtop
"What other planet features this?"
eight and a half freaks nine

high-diving dogs a horse drunk
and up his fetlock an American ace
of big blue sawdust connects

radar lariats at the snap of bees jazzed
off as mendacity by Jesus, Telemetry
you really got me going!
