Lichen Prospectus
Specimen leaves sung down for pages
in the desert of the analogy longed
for as only a condition of elephant
paper similes with the microcosm of
the hot press amidst the temples of
the spirit going down down the mute
how botanical plates scan the vying
even as Nature itself copper plates
or adds a florist and public bodies
subscribers as yet deficient tuning
toward a delicacy of the engravings
the deception so now complete shews
such heights the bold lichen became
that as whole money Plato and Tesco
roll into a genera called scripture
of the root radical in which office
in print the highest style executes
and embellishments slew into papers
the money lyrics illustrating fatal
attraction as wild promissory notes
go mock prospectus in minor mood to
palpable debt as no still explosion
it is at best whispers in symbiosis
growth rates in a month of moondays
whose litmus does landskip and dyes
