so i am the black ship of the family,
yes i have fallen off
the other side
of a flat world
an end where the water rushes
but doesnt wake,
left as it is
for cups lost downriver;
lost to the end
of a world disproven
as long as there is,
there is frontier
a sexless bull-cow america,
rollicking distant past
the fenced part of a flat world
and i said unto my brother that I am a mouth
and i eat because my ribs furnish the boats
with cages to sail on, and over the other side
