1.
Tribulating front withal,
obstructive fumble-sloom. Fathoms
stab, silvery inks aglow;
offal from rockets. Ingrown storm
twists fifth stool shaper vampire flask
gossips about us.

2.
Exemplary frost disease,
iron skies over this malady.
Our schedules inflexible
clothes made from oil · nourish rigid
twilight gossip on which to moor
infix or affix

3.
Road loud on the tires yet i
did not slow · solitary fires
infused the twilight with glum
companionship · we steal delight
from cesium rays · from hoarfrost
on fortuneless trees

4.
Gloom ranger · neglect prospers
among dark elves worn · the white leaves
cover · forced entry of calm
this was · clothes made from wormwood dregs
a squeaky furl · a funest sauce
eyes glued to the glove

5.
his numbers · slumber's design
fish pedicure · fettered spiral
a slim snow scuffed · cufflinks spark
Sxwaixwe at bat · rattles te loud
road te strange · sporangium nods
we are all · falling

6.
random hoofbeats rip · gypsy
mothballed · and the escape tipsy
across a mad terrain · train
porn grown boring · one of us walk
one of us find wanting · crosstalk
swirling · hurl attain

the sun brightens, but the sky
remains iron gray

"Morrices first writer, Dell Hair, was born in 1871 on Morrice Road near the Looking Glass River. Known as Joe Hairs fool kid, he skipped school, wrote satirical rhymes about the businessmen, and finally ran off to join the army. In Oklahoma, his impish ways landed him lots of time in the guardhouse, where he wrote more verses. After brief unsuccessful tries at running a hotel in Perry, then farming near Shaftsburg, he took a job as policeman in Toledo, Ohio. There he became known as the rhyming cop. He self-published five books of verses before writing Nature Beautiful. Though there is little likelihood of that book ever being mistaken for great literature, it does mention some Morrice scenes and names." His Echoes from the Beat (1908) came into our store.
