“I see breadth -- i.e., width -- but no girth. 
Lacking visceral fitness,  
my fate’s been to witness 
such dearth since my unworthy birth.” 

In Bethesda, one Seth met his death 
smoking meth, which arrested his breath. 
Seth's obit express’d  
sev’ral shibboleths: “Rest 
grant him, Lord” -- plus (unt'ward...?) “More is leth.” 

A Christmas wreath vendor from Meath 
gathers heather on Godlingston Heath, 
where he harvests the gorse --  
and the goosegrass, of course, 
which he clips with his lips or his teeth.
