1860 dictionary of slang. (No "gemplemorums"--!)

      "down among the nature fakers"

like word rows arrayed · our cars run
skyvistas provide · varied framing
& the doom-dwindle · of dinosaur grease
meets the weather wobble · away from our ken
   it's what the ghosts garner

intricate arts · go into our distraction
flicker & flummox · a flow unceasing
among them massacres · among them miracles
things we need to know · anent the world
   it's what the ghosts garner

starless i construe · this stringent jest
flounder in harness · hoping one flame
et cetera et cetera · so many whispers
as the bombs bully · & batter down homes
   it's what the ghosts garner
