Another Found Poem

[cbertsch]

This time the words run together:

I'm partial to "sourceoblong," "grupoidconsignee," and "mossyanywhere." But "clamentation" takes the grand prize. I love the sound of bivalves in the mourning.

I love these found poems. The Ls here just roll off the tongue so well.

Colin Meloy has a way with his consonants as well, those liquid Ls and rolling Rs, the clustered polysyllabic nouns... The Decemberists were one of my first LA concerts, though I missed them when they were there most recently.
