mr nothing drank a glass of water
as he couldn’t remember the taste
just like the citizens of kirrha did
so unaware of the nebros’s advice
(by the way the asclepiad gave his scion
a really good reason to establish the oath)
that evening he was going to read
a book of english verse as given
so that he could see the islanders
through their genderless language
but as he began to wonder whether
a watergaw beyond the downpour
is as colourful as the rainbow that
he knew it will remain unanswered
hidden pilcrow
