ruth benedict 1934: rivalry is notoriously wasteful
it ranks low in the scale of human values
it is a tyranny from which
once encouraged in any culture
no man may free himself
ineluctably is a great word
scrapper might be a plugin, or scraper
people come from somewhere
some mumble of closers i think, in beards
some unearned runs also . . . . alphabets
clown colors follow me to towns
someone's lonely isn't that
people drop their math on me
some dreams ineluctably like
dog and its food are someone's every
gun you will have will rust
license & duty on behalf of in-
tangible (absent) stakeholders
bleed it emerald, navy, then wash it
thus, making of it
a conceptual hog
