For a tabular year-and-a-day,

To the kindless, kinkable Cannibal Isles

And a yak that weeps and smiles,

And a bustard-bird, and a blue baboon,

In the kindless Cannibal Isles

And wilds

Of the kinkable Cannibal Isles.

From the kindless Cannibal Isles

And wilds

Of the kinkable Cannibal Isles.
