Analysis of There was confusion
James Corsale 1965 (Pittsburgh)
There was confusion
Morass and the masking
Of peoples
And to not wait long
But were chided
By smallish creatures
And the pure grass
Came down to
Bend favor and justice
Upon them
They saw a plurality of
Worlds strewn together like
Pearls on strings
And that is not all they sang
For more waiting was written
In the night
And much justice to be done
By them in the day
