I don’t know about you, but
I chose the Christmastree cookies
because they
              Contain and I consume man-hours,


One was white with eyes:
the tree faced
near its tip, built high enough for the ships to pass to Oakland
to Quincy, MA

Carwin refers out of
Kay —Keye / mer, and
prawns with the shell
marvellous too, to
gift discontiguity
the hart out of Bradford (bull of Every).
What parts of me contain admixture of prawn?
Tall enough for the ships to pass to Oakland,
past the launch slip, sloping causeway that it seems likes the sea eats
refers us to Edwards’s
Wedge

it’s been i while

              which is Carwin speaking, asking
              where lies the voice

This is how it works:
partners will group themselves according
to their experience of which kinds of projects
within silos of expertise

manifested through the branch offices
out on the ice-floes, the model
the federalist snake
of sections: join.

If those early partners,
they wouldn’t recognise the,
diversification (Morton)
&, especially, the services, or

(Endicott) investor in people, or
the buy-out of the elder partners in 2002
(the one who went under the boat) & the termination
of the sinecure consultancies;

the new fee-scales ([Howland?] Ralph).
They would recognise the continued
commitment to the firm’s core values
of (Keimer) committed excellence

of (Dickinson [John]) articulate reaction
of (Carwin) responsiveness,
selectivity, (Freneau) unknown.
Fostering a generality of expertise,

with your eyes you measure
& calculate the amount.
