Last year, I erased Ulysses to create 18 found poems, one for each episode. Here is "Calypso:"
Thick giblet soup, fried hencod's roes,
grilled mutton kidneys, a fine
tang of urine.
Gelid light and air in the kitchen;
out of doors gentle summer morning
everywhere.
The coals reddening.
A slice of bread and butter
Cup of tea.
O-Cat-Mkgnao!
Warmbubbled milk on a
saucer.
Gurgh.
Ham and eggs, no.
Better a pork kidney.
Still perhaps: once.
Her prime sausages.
To catch up and walk
behind her, behind
her moving hams.
Bread and butter,
sugar, spoon,
her cream
Yes.
