(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

by Aaron Fogel

The Romans got their circling powers

Rome——the container-skull， the fountainhead——

Lookout³ holes calling itself Reason.

Against her Spain——Maya uprisings——against that grip——

People with terra cotta plus bluegrass flesh——

Flights， transhumance y more or less dispoblado.

Two conch-shaped continents boisterously⁴ Romesqued.

The merry die young. The sad， guarded

And anxious live long lives. The really grim

Are immortal⁵. Continue the anti-anti-census.

Capitulate to no Romes.

Heliodemography is the study of the population

Of the sun. Mrs. Smith lives there with the Mister.

Through an art-of-the-state telescope Iris⁶ observes

Cantilevered Yiddish‘s stern stars.
