Christ, everything is divided arb

war.

At the tippiest tip of Africa's top
piest top, I swam and dreamed toge

Christ, everything is crashingto

faith. The sharks digest the seals
in the warm water while

At the bottom, where the clams
walk and watch my feet with both
eyes, War is peaceful. Everything
drifts.

Assuming the mid-word enjambment is not some bizaare HTML side-effect, Stephan - it's a clever reinforcement of the whole idea of arbitrary disjointedness inherent in the multi-denominational world.

A fine example of form and subject fusion, a visual effect inextricably linked with subject matter (ie. "crashingto/
getherar bitrarilyContinentseas")...Ir reminds me of Joycean word-play (negating grammar and syntax purposely) in the likes of "Ulysses"....Rgds.,Alan.

Love the format here Stephan, it certainly emphasises your point, though I think I see a mispell.....

"Christ, everything is divided arb
istrarily."

Should it not be:

"Christ, everything is divided arb
itrarily."?
