                      it is a funny 'object'
                                     strangely shaped
                               formed and unformed in  time's 'burb'
                                       its urge to modify & classify

                                                        the tender telling of time's
                                                             tourniquet its barbershop twisting
                                                      candy-cane pole to a single reconnoitring before dawn's
                                                     ship crowds the bay of nouns
                                                
                                                     the mighty verb high sailing steamer
                                                               the smoke stacked ocean liners
                                             packing the harbour of funnels, chimneys, masts, and sails

                                                                         rolling off the surf its benign touch
