Glazed Glitter
Nickel, what is nickel, it is originally rid of a cover.
The change in that is that red weakens an hour. The change has come.There is no search. But there is, there is that hope and thatinterpretation and sometime, surely any is unwelcome, sometime there isbreath and there will be a sinecure and charming very charming is thatclean and cleansing. Certainly glittering is handsome and convincing.
There is no gratitude in mercy and in medicine. There can be breakagesin Japanese. That is no programme. That is no color chosen. It waschosen yesterday, that showed spitting and perhaps washing andpolishing. It certainly showed no obligation and perhaps if borrowing isnot natural there is some use in giving.

About this section
Glazed Glitter is prose, printed in 3 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.
