Tomato can of thee I sing	A
bright beacon of liberty and civilization	B
harbinger of progress	C
left by the picnicker	D
among the millenial junipers and glacier moulded granites	C
on Donner's peak	E
Insouciantly you lean with label already peeling	A
in gaudy green and crimson decolletage	F
to reveal your rondure dimpled slightly here and there by dents but otherwise perfect	G
and suggesting with futuristic provocation	B
and cylindrical breast form of a strip teasing robot	H
The wind that ancient lecher plays with the label	I
and it falls away like a slip	J
from around your dazzling flanks	C
Profulgently you glitter like the wings of planes	C
over Hispania or China	K
or like the Coit tower	D
on a fogless morning	A
In you we behold the ultimate avatar	D
of stellar slag and neutrons long dissolved	L
into nebulous vapor	D
in you the transgalactic goal	M
of atoms endlessly broken and re alchemized	L
in the dark laboratory of time and space	C
by the demiurge who wears the night for mask	N
In you the mystic ore	D
immured by subterranean gloom for aeons	C
and carried obscurely by the womb of worlds	C
as they wandered on through gulfs and light years	C
in you the oft remolten and star pregnant metal	I
briefly gleams refracting all the solar rays	C
and batting back the electrons from the sun spots	C
and riddled by all the cosmic and ultra cosmic and infra cosmic and other cosmic radiations	C
But soon too soon your glory tarnishes	C
and the spots and mottlings and zones of stannic oxide	L
will damascene you with their rufous arabesques	C
with their brownish nacarat and ruddled umber	D
until you lapse in Huysmanesque corrosion	B
colored and surfaced like the planet Mars	C
