& when the tea ebbs
		------------------------------------------------------------

		& when the happyfeet inherit the mirth -- sandy
		shoals of fjord or firth or prairie

		then

		some dazzling things yes!  some dazzling things!
		await in algae on the beaches -- secondary gifts --
		amber set in silver -- scat of boozeglass -- and
		del monte's darkly hollow cans of shaven peaches
