William Fuller. Three Poems.

William Fuller's Three Poems isn't so much cast before the walls of decrepit abundance as tunnelled through them while both nature and the Company look on. Against which foredrop the solitary obstacles are in bloom (their wheels soluble). From up here on the red/green boughs you can see them swimming out. — Miles Champion

Mechanical horse
adapts its teaching
to magic, while its peaceful
downward glance fills
an imaginary storehouse
exactly like space
nor does an enquirer exist
who comprehends its
boll weevil of wisdom
with sharp sword untainted
by miraculous investation
authentically infused
by omniscient mind stream
only a little squishy
like petals falling apart
as it combines shouts
of cats and squirrels
fastidious of function
these elements will not
be absorbed but remain
aloof in the composite
brightly colored, with
enhanced responsibility
when no data arise
suspected of deviation
from this year's target
and minute discrepancies
owed to parallax
of executive views --
what are the principles that endure
down to the sub-brand
a form of shamanism
free of cessation and of
creation, a flower
privately-held
