how many strings must be plucked to play a tune?


S
on favours father
      father favours son
trouble is
      neither is either
relationship slips knot of order
      what we court in our verities
neglects what every parent
      ought to recognize
a propos or not of darwin
      we descend in species of one
and so does every other creature
      under the sun

how random can you get
      trailing comparison's leash
without losing sense of scale --
      on a voyage to reach the moon
how many sails do we set?
