the cormorant’s finessed

Busted by neighbors
borrowing the wife's Mexican sandals
to fetch the morning mail-

When precisely the reverse is the case,
Eternity as all absence of extension,
Yes, temporality on its very face.

  For every nickel I've made
    I'd be a wealthy man

Just confirmed my larceny
