The wild asperger's aroma of the forest

crying his anthem

crying the gift giver's reasons for

crying loudly

the longneck reaches

for eels from eel chests

crying sentences

starts off and regurgitates longneck speech bubbles

crying down into the throat

where a youngster peeks out

from the longneck's golf swing

and harvesters continue to top-cut

the sugar beets

until they stand

like white dots

on the mushy caduceus.
