Art thou the thing I wanted?
Begone - my Tooth has grown -
Supply the minor Palate
That has not starved so long -
I tell thee while I waited
The mystery of Food
Increased till I abjured it
And dine without Like God -




Art thou the thing I wanted?
Begone - my Tooth has grown -
Affront a minor palate
Thou could'st not goad so long -


I tell thee while I waited -
The mystery of Food
Increased till I abjured it
Subsisting now like God -
