(From The Me Theme)
Just ice justice, reinstate rein
State the me theme
Factor fact or temper
A mental temperamental
Leg end legend.
Mistrust mist rust art if ice
Artifice restrains rest
Rains beat.
Be at bat on baton
Wag on wagon auto mated
Automated assembling
As sembling per uses
Illiterate peruses.
I’ll iterate the me theme
Just ices justice’s den.
I, Zen denizen,
Am using amusing cons
Trained constrained
Imbedding I’m bedding.
Polyphilia is on
Polyp hi liaison,
A basing abasing
Onsets on sets.
I’m a gist imagist
A polo gist apologist, a
Bashed abashed agent, a gent
Attesting at testing
Artichoke art
I choke to ur tour
Anthems, ant hems
Poe try poetry
Port rayed portrayed temperas
Temp eras formats for mats.
Rampages ramp ages ram pages.

Taxi tax I:
Impost or impostor?
I’m post or pole
Mic polemic,
Toponymy to pony my
Bull slinger cowbows.
Bulls linger, cow boys, menace men.
Ace nib licks niblicks chip per
Chipper parameter par.
A meter line age lineage
Assigns as signs post script.
Postscript addenda add, end a letter
Man letterman jockeyed jock-eyed
Side-saddle sides, addle forth
Right forthright since
Realist A-list mania’s man, I,
As the me theme in auger at or
Inaugurator rearranging rear
Ranging back wards backwards.
Backwards wards back ranging
Rear rearranging inaugurator,
Or at augur in me the as I,
Man mania’s A-list realist
Since forthright, right, forth
Addle sides side-saddle
Jock-eyed jockeyed letterman man letter A,
End, add addenda postscript script.
Post signs as assigns lineage
Age line meter a par parameter
Chipper per chip niblicks licks nib.
Ace men menace boys, cow, linger.
Bulls cowboys,
Slinger my pony to toponymy
Polemic mic pole or post,
I’m impostor or impost
I tax taxi.
*
Measure me
A sure Everest eve rest
Bedlam bed
Lam pit on piton rig
Or rigor now here
No, where real tors realtors
Areas gigantic are as
Gig antic amounts recount.
A mount’s recount
An estimated anest I-mated egg
e.g., golden olden omen.
O, men agreed, a greed abets a bet’s go
At goat rib bonuses, ribbon uses
To taled beanstalk totaled
Beans talk fee fief of, um,
“Fee fie fo fum.â€

So, me?
Some overweening over weening author,
I tar. I, an authoritarian prick,
Led prickled book keepers
Bookkeepers,
Off ice office buckram buck ram secret Aries secretaries
Red actors, redactors
A gent’s agents
Copyright copy right about rightabout trademarkers
Trade markers celebrating celeb rating pop corn
Popcorn gobbling gob bling admirers
Ad mirers
Typo graphic sex tantamount sextant amount typographic font
Allayers fontal layers forest all forestall imprints.
I’m print’s artifact or artifactor
Art I factor.
What am I?
Bioluminescent eye
That sees by the shine
Of its own light. Lies
Blind me. I am the seventh human sense
And my stepchild,
Consequence;
Scientists can't find me.
Januswise I make us men;
Glamour
Was my image then—
Remind me:
The awful fall up off all fours
From the forest
To the hours…
Tick, Tock: Divine me.
