Teaching Anniversary Oddities.

It is an oddity of American letters that
no major poet is cherished sometimes
in a rough beam sea, and that headless
the teacher, Edward Teach her, down
sentiments born and scree'd.

Birthday glancing ale master's wheel,
upon a Greek isle where the windmills
themselves set sail. He made this screen.
It is an oddity of lads, to the days
that are had, and gala in hand, the wild
dogs open like technical orchids
in the foam velocity bearding black pearl
heads.

Birthday of American Pi-lettered pyrites
pirating the mist of elder leavening hoist,
host Schwartzenbarbenwaldenpondylusponscum
anniversary embuskade.

It is an oddity, the severed head that swims
from fair Albion to noon, and an oddity
that claps on irons, under a boon-goon-moon.
Maynard and Teach themselves begun the fight
with their swords and sprang to evermore
upon the gunwales of "Oh, we'll drink once more.."
but as ghoulish cephalophore whose flagon
is a wrinkled human song singing:

The mice and emerods of
gold were essentially charms,
so let that be a lesson
to uncharming gentle
meant rob her...

So now to tease the wooden skulls
that flop, or float like wily walrus
in the mud and the barnacles of
oracle-grinder emeralds..
