After Everything Else

 nominally Ted

Berrigan
patched together
from words or
if words don’t
serve the re
mains of half
a thought.
Oligarchs
float past
and future
in the rising
wind of
Oligarchs who
press words
to dogmatic
shape. I like
to think that
Berrigan drew
a line and drawn
to it. basic
fewness of
of oligarchs
serves shaded.
their words
stand in
for an object
outside
not in. after
everything else
nothing begins
now.
