Excerpting obituaries might yield a clue
to the ornamentation favored by those
who think they're in the know . . .
The dry illumination will not help
despite what you've heard . . .
Sadly, they are no wiser for it . . .
You want to cut short the conversation? . . .
That could compromise the data
you've agreed to share . . . but I suppose
that happens more than we'd like to admit . . .
Falling as it does into the infinitesimal hole
in our consciousness, to plummet headlong
into the twenty-thousand leagues of notes . . .
A Captain Nemo type was found floating along
in an alphabetical undercurrent . . .
This has to be yet another wake-up call . . .
