the name i give
		-----------------------------------------------------------

		a wheel:  appoint a point on the wheel, the wheel is moving
		an amtrak wheel is churning below my cooling heels...

		a sparkler lit -- in a dark romper room in cincinnati
		a young eye glints -- make it loop, wow, the light threads!
		in circles in circles in eights!  in ocular glitter

		and then there were three, by genesis, after steve was gone.
		and the cover -- so forlorn -- snowman the song -- streaks
		of light in the afterglow.  unquiet slumber of these
		sleepers... stepping one behind the show.  voyage of the
		acolyte.  a curious feeling.  and the lamb.  lies down.  on

		broadway, below madison garden -- it's... penn station

		count them -- churning paths of a point on the wheel below.
		think of -- sparkler paths, the circles.
		trace the -- rhythm, songline -- 20 hours from chicago
		feel like -- and then there were three, by genesis

		arachne on l.s.d. -- lake shore limited
		is the name i give this cycloid.
