name dropped in quartz, the light
caught at angles, the pulse beats
at the rate of one famous person
per line, the fame mined and vicarious
seams open to engulf the individual
poet in the crystallography of celebrity
,the property of self imponderable,
the results form a neat trapezohedron
upon which the "act" swings
Peter the Great, the rock, petrine
silliness at the behest of the form.
