*Fro to To


Obverse, re-observed: please let's pursue it! –
if to understand reserved objection
is the job that it would take to do it –
through the leads we'll need, reverse subjection:

strive for different sorts of altered meanings

than we can abide through this aborted
blind attempt to figure out the gleanings
of the silly creatures who’ve cavorted

'round this circus. Please let our final point

be neither to uncover who’s to blame
nor to identify that finer joint
that links his lonely spirit to his name.

Recite this sonnet backwards: “fro” to “to.”

(Oh, never mind. Still won’t make sense to you.)
