It must be that Jimmy knows all
we rely on his revised rigging
we can clearly see through tiny glasses
which are crumbled all around
as you said that which is built
must tumble to the ground
Eventually,
on these long dogged days
stretching Pacifically
horizontally both ways
You start by digging ditches
building by removal
connecting the channelled groove
each speck to spec, welding by will
And for the portcullis
a molding of macrocystis
do reserve some kelp for the keep
confounding those criss-cross-walls
one strand at a time
one per postern
a grain delay
water wise
These masonry molds of ornate turrets tell
a chivalric tale, a creation of deterioration
With a gypsy white washed beechwood to etch
windows, bars, doorways-all notably notched
deleterious dimensions
of modern medieval convention
Wet cement won't hold
unless the tide turns down
the daily grind, of rise and fall
testing the outer castle wall
The sun casts long poles
from the towers to the South
the flood plain fills spreading
its frothy water line
Evermore,
in this phase
of sandy daze
and purple UV rays
