Wolaly on 'OLD' > 'NEW'

Line six, the sixth rung in this wolaly 
ladder, may seem to certain readers 
as at best a stretch and at worst a 
catastrophe. For the poet, however, 
this choice of word is, in fact, the 
clinamen which guarantees the

spring our lad from that den...?

     Volta 
(Rare Arabian dew:
never old, ever new.)
