Twilights that are deathless are dark and breathless
Drunk and sedate popping out of a box in his best hat
Don't worry about a hundred dollars give it a raucous
Laugh shrug shoulders then push the fedora back
Up all night writing and slugging it down panoramic
And particular the floor of the blue night is steeped
In ether when does the sound of silvery thunder stifle
The insanity of silence with it's bona-fide guarantee
Kenneth Fearing
