"For us, caught up in the roil and moil of ordinary life, scurrying about, worked and pressured and fearful, these empty shows, these vain simulacra, are distractions by which we are moved. By such passions are we known, and known to be empty, silly, vain."

rolls a lipogram.

"...there were so many dead they had to be buried vertically in the graveyards to save space."

"left handed toss with ricochet"

dead ten years · yarrowy dwine
brougham-backwards brillig · brittle swerve
& it's normalcy · noon's name asserted
with gray grading · t'ward black
the bleak stakeholder's · stately bludgeon
dead ten years · your dying escapes me
