Switchback

By the blue wooden sea-

Curling laboriously,

Coral and amber grots

(Cherries and apricots)

Ribbons of noisy heat

Binding them head and feet,

Horses as fat as plums

Snort as each bumpkin comes.

Giggles like towers of glass

(Pink and blue spirals) pass,

Oh how the Vacancy

Laughed at them rushing by.

"Turn again, flesh and brain,

Only yourselves again!

How far above the ape

Differing in each shape,

You with your regular

Meaningless circles are!"
