hymn 2
a road and railway the longest ever ribbed
the deepest steel ever sunk to cross but for this
passage worship a radical metallic sound • brass
for vehicular for varied, confusing elements and pressure clever
positioning of support objects such as arms, two shore
abutments and piers • adjustment of pairs • seeming
to give way precludes vulnerability suspension or draw
bridges, miles and miles water wants lock, constraint
of dams, rocks contain tenderness within willing
and unknown amounts of wrought • iron, a curious
chance, necessity to touch insufficient strength of alternative
material • rigging particular that face square with points
pose difficulties for travelers unable to construct false works •
or expressions devised invitations to close arches one
year of opening
hymn 2
within two days a quake to strike New Madrid • what
tidal peaks could trigger in high tectonic stress, the curious
appeal of tension between two opposing
forces what bands of earth subject to possibility
of a measured 7.0 or higher • a relatively short
memory, 12/3, 4:56,only worry missouri,
neighboring states, schools closed, we in tandem
hiding under support objects such as arms, desks, door
frames to protect our heads from falling
walls, ceiling splinter, books stray, prepare to carom
wait for warping, ejection, fissure, caving the same
river only differ in name here or there a dark
ribbon reverse the current flow backwards like 1811, like
1811 parishes shift allegiance, church bells • listen
from the other side (1812, like 1812)
