I thot the only emperor was the emperor of ice-cream and now there is comp from ARA and GS. Love how the lash, ash, shuffle, and zap of this poem get typographed by the script. Cd someone please post the Ammons inspriration ("Emperor's Insomnia"? )I can't find a copy. Better... if anyone has the notebook of the original inspiration. But I ask too much.
The poem is actually after Ammons' poem "So I Said I Am Ezra" from Ommateum.
