Read a poem by another poet written
on the same day:

the other side of the coin with only one side

the instrument, devious device, needed tuning.
various experts offered advice.
time was running out or running.
gunpowder slate staring over
a shoulder from elsewhere & anyhow (anyhow)

should overcomes the lid which wants
not to be forced open

after all it's only an hour
blade by blade the field's a field
