Psalm F
The ding-dong man attempts a villanelle
offered to D.S. to be read
to a disinterested audience
A number chosen from above
Resembles in its count
A number chosen by accident.
Ten generations from Adam to Noah—
Ten more from Shem to Abraham—
A number chosen from above.
One hundred senators serve the land
By virtue of the fifty states—
A number chosen by accident.
Myriads of myriads—
He heard in both his ears—
A number chosen from above.
A string of digits on a lottery ticket
Puts a fat one in the bank—
A number chosen by accident.
