conception is the better part of valor--
valor itself, so much fal
se honor-- so many downhill steps made easy
by gravity and the dust of emotion
and dew, to uncertain degree

and the whip is the lettered charge of concept
into the back that is flesh and is not flesh for being mind
or, as we slide and forgive and slip it in
--

flies barn barn flies
which is nothing if nothing is not trite
finally not killing the geese
one would raise in the wood
