Odysseyites curry favor with Johnny-come-latelies
homeless in email . . . palming handouts
and a free pass to the Lone Star Steakhouse
where buy-ones get-ones feature . . .
A Shakespearean interface perplexes you far and away
your memory skewed by the cacophony
of the signal-to-noise ratio
filling the first movement with incomprehensible snow . . .
You have come to appreciate nautical wherewithals
and manage to navigate the second movement
mindful of the snow whose melodic drifts
you later learn was what everyone
had slogged through the snowstorm to hear . . .
