Sausages
Sausages in between a glass.
There is read butter. A loaf of it is managed. Wake a question. Eat aninstant, answer.
A reason for bed is this, that a decline, any decline is poison, poisonis a toe a toe extractor, this means a solemn change. Hanging.
No evil is wide, any extra in leaf is so strange and singular a redbreast.

About this section
Sausages is prose, printed in 4 paragraphs. It is part of the edition and is kept for reading, but nothing here is measured: the line breaks are the printer's, so no metre, rhyme scheme or scansion is stated.
The reader shows the same poem with its rhymes coloured and a stress row above each line, the notes beside their stanzas, and any word's definition on a tap; the analysis page takes the whole book apart. How every part of this site was made.
