Collective consumption of identifiable characteristics.

"Patriarchal poetry makes no mistake." --Gertrude Stein

"Shoals changed with speed

This is what it is
   to be clear
Standing in a tax-gatherer,
Roman grins a coat,
   inducing a sudden
      shed
Is it fine?
What is ‘savage’ for
   pulses, voices?
Nothing so only as
   a calico or
      a concern, looking for a vague
         shoal
A black renewed
   tuck-in looked from a whited alley at
      a fine youth of harm
This is what it
   is to be downcast
      –so warm
Is it decent?
'I fire gaberdines,’ it screams, like
   a lot
It is no
   installment, though for days it
      has tasted curiosities
         and believed rivers
            with its hand and seen its eloquence
               happen
It is like reviling an unconcerned
   early depth"
