cracking shells with her dull pen.<\/p>\n

with an ungreat full mind.<\/p>\n

and the<\/p>\n
vain pounding of her hard head<\/p>\n
tried to<\/p>\n
overlook her inconsistencies<\/p>\n
thinking I might<\/p>\n
see eternity in a grain of sand<\/p>\n
that I might<\/p>\n
jump down from my high and firy cross.<\/p>\n
