Owner ship

an ark in a white room like the heart in a king

dead for all his anger bread

and management so ungrateful as to put a wren out of work

under the want of money is a place that disobliges

people not able to do what they desire to it

who chase a place like a world broken in pieces

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 21 March 1669.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

an ark in a room
like the in a king
