I want to drink
a big amount of apple juice
or none at all.
This tiny glass
so far from fills my
likewise eyes and growing
wiselike mind in realization
huge: in tininess comparison,
how small such glass gets,
once set down
before throat's want
(which grows to need we
contemplate) in hard dilemma
growing strong in judgment
town.
But suddenly!
Solution springs
to overfill reaction's mills!
RESPONSE is sown and reaped
and threshed and all the chaff
discards itself, to fill one scale
of judgment's boom
as we pronounce:
"Revise, revise! My order
please. Please bring me
three of these. No, three more
plus the one you've given me.
- I surmise that will suffice.
In judgment town
the call went out
from observation's want
to reason's need,
the three they come
in range of eyes,
to table set
in range of reach
as I await. To lift and toast
to Fall! Each one
a big amount
of apple juice
to contemplate.
