“Only in
DRUNKENNESS
did NOAH
sleep
walking through
SHEIKH JARRAH
a somnambulant

ZOMBIE
for the VAQUERO
CROWN.
He left three
SONS
JAPHETH
SHEM

and HAM
who were not
KILLED
when everyone else
DROWNED.”

I FOUND
the NOTE
in the
ARMENIAN
QUARTER
when BETWEEN
YOU and

me
there were
ALMOND
trees.
I SCRATCHED
OFF
the BOOT

on my
ARM
somewhere
between
COLUMBUS
and me.
