AMENDMENTS TO ULYSSES' CONTRACT

Actually—hang on 
sailors, I want you
to wait!

until I can just
barely 
begin to make-

out each floozy 
little curve 
and stray
nape of that ancient 

and ooey-
gooey 
warm jiggling 
squirt of a melody—

and only
then! I mean—only

after that! should you
tie me
tie me
tie me

tie me
tie me down—fast!

to the 
tottom?
no—
the bop?
no—
the butt!

of the mast.
