Somethin' from the poem July:

     13

         We looked for you   little Sheba
 at the source of the Nile   up the coptic
 streambed running   rusty   and we peeked
 quintessence is a very ghostly thing   (bashful)



  
         Dr. Lykken said   This is starting to look
 like real physics   and   what to do
 with the other six dimensions?
 The extra dimensions   in the Berkeley



  
         theory   stringy forces   and the ability of
 quintessence to flip   a particularly bizarre
 and bedeviling prediction   del heno rubio
 a él en la flexion   a ella en condicion aumentativa



  
         wriggling   incredibly tiny   superstrings
 Y exclamo entonces, sin cesar ni uno
 De qué deslumbramiento ofono, tinto,
 se ejecuta el cantar de los cantares!



  
         THEORISTS PONDER A COSMIC BOOST
 FROM FAR, FAR AWAY   while
 a low D-tone drones   weak field
 of energy   normally exists in a



  
         humdrum, unsurprising attractive mode
 It sort of shadows the behavior
 of the other matter   reverberating
 tenuous   diploid   dum-dee-doom-dum



  
         downward   repulsive quintessence
 accelerating the diaphanous   design
 like a J-drill spiralling   jade or gneiss
 pinpointed through permafrost   a sequin



  
         gone from gold to green to the hidden
 den in the well of do-well   as peers
 pierce the d-d-depth   a spear of
 delight   all manner of   (shall hind   be fond)
