7379 = 47 x 157
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
7379 = 47 x 157
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
7380
Then how should I begin
7381 = 112 x 61
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
7382
And how should I presume?
7383 = 3 x 23 x 107
And I have known the arms already, known them all—

7492
And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
[Are you sure?
]
7493
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? …
[I’ll look out the window tonight. If I see the stars going out one by one, I’ll start to worry.]
7494
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
[Nah, don’t worry, that’s just the clouds. We are still 992.505 short of the goal.]
7495
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
[Well, let’s keep going, then.]
7496
And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!

Smoothed by long fingers,
