The shooting match, the total works:
The complex jimbang, one and all.
Some are part, portion, fraction,
Section, segment, cantle, tithe;
Piece by piece, and in small doses,
Dribs and drabs, scraps and crumbs.

I am complete, all or nothing,
Heaven and earth, no stone unturned:
From Hell to breakfast, cap-a-pie,
First and last, charged and crammed.
Incomplete, scant, and half-weight,
Lacking, wanting, in arrears ...
Mutilated, mangled, butchered:
Most are short of what they need.
Embodied, constituted, made,
I am set up, formed, contained;
Factor, part and parcel, leaven,
I consist of all that's named.

BEFORE and AFTER

Before the sequel: before the trail;
Before the eddy and the wake;

Before the aftermath was tagged;
Before the afterclap was tailed;

Before the egg; before the dawn;
Before the very starting point;

Before the onset; before the light;
Before the hour Time was born -

All was disarrayed, crooked,
Awry, amiss, askew ....
Huggermugger, willy-nilly,
Rant on, much-a-do.
Disarranged, mussed, confused,
Messed up, fouled, disturbed:
