Tease, who's the tease?
call me
scavenger.
So I had to
steal, beg, and bribe:
Steeple keepers, is this a list of people who steal, beg, bribe, or the victims of your stealing begging bribing
captains, fishermen,
merchants, ferrymen,
nagsmen, magicians,
those noose men Love everything about knots and tangles and how noose men are included and separated from the list
whose squareknots, overhands,
bowlines & sheetbends
are now loosed,
stretched into
straight lengths;
Tangled nets semi colon, is this lumping the people with nets while starting it as a new subject, like the noose men previously, like a meta-heading
forever unwoven,
pulled & driven,
prayers, but see this seems like it's still in the list, but tied to nets by just a comma,
asking integrity's strength. So the whole poem even though ending on fairly nice words kind of abruptly ends as a list, like an incomplete run-on. Poetic yes, but who's the tease?
