Why not be the one you buy crispy & fresh & five for a dime?
Why not take the one you believe its fishy refrigerated eye?
Why not casual the side step the salty side glance the hips?
Why not this platoon of farm stand egg & pepper & turnip?
Why not fireman carry her over the fjord walking the shells?
Why not for dinner its leafy madness its oily particular its?
Why not the base of the ball the vertex of foul line & bullpen?
Why not why anyone suddenly ever as carefully as the horse?
Why not the fox when a chicken suffice when rabbit when?
Why not in five in four in ten in six in twenty-three in nine?
Why not if the circle is splattered & that way toward governor?
Why not this spindly leading circumspect then back over it?
Why not the drowsy can-can petals & kicking forthright slide?
Why not it's the birthday of Ezra Pound born in Idaho &?
