You can't lick a badger twice.

"Sun as I:
no sin:
unisons
are deified.
never evened dust’s all Infinite
rifts all
Lined dust,
solemn in me.
Losses send star;
a carat;
sadnesses;
solemn,
in me lost.
Sudden, ill:
last fire,
tin,
if nil:
last sudden,
ever even
deified eras;
no sin:
unison is an us."

I don't think it gets more Second Gilded Age than this.
