I keep my pockets hidden
Inside out when they are bidden
Then I hang them on the trees where they hum electric beesI veil my inventories
Grow them round as morning glories
Then I lacquer them in gloss where they caracole crisscrossI classify my ciphers
Codify all new arrivers
Then I nourish them to death where they shift to shibboleth
