Palindrome Amphoteric Poem
for Nicanor Parra
A
/lag garrison/
sad lot inferno’s
self-raw debris
yarned raw deli
antinome due to iris
rots alert, saw de-rites
/proceed/
no PSYWAR tsar,
e-macro per nefas dual
set
at serene drags,
a Gnome duel
in e-vitro,
ballast lover
persona jettisons
a drawer tinsel bio-fuel
in e-cardiac,
/I’m gat/
syntax et al
latex
at nystagmic aid,
race nil
/eu-foibles/
nit reward as
no-sit Tejanos
rep revolts,
all abortive nil
eudemon gas
gardener estates laud
safen
rep or camera strawy spondee corpse,
tired
/wastrel as/
torsi
riot eudemon,
it nailed warden, ray Sir
/be dwarf, lesson ref/
nit old as, no Sir
rag gala.
