Penumbra’s a conundrum,
conundrum is penumbra.
An umbrella’s humdrum–

an elision. Humdrum
as a striking out, elision.
There is no dearth

of little forks.
To fashion a remedy,
a remedy of friction,

Townsend’s big-eared bat
and pallid bat, and pallid bat
and pallid bat.

A mighty swat, a balk.
A leaking out about a tank.
O big-eared bat,

a drumming strike,
a remedy of little dearth.
There is no humdrum

remedy, pallid as and is.
Penumbra is a leaking out,
a lightwave, umbrella-ed about.

Of homage to elision,
there’s no dearth.
Conundrum is a little balk.
