Pantoum Beginning with Lines by Jordan Davis and Jonathan Mayhew
It's fatiguing, consuming all this Stalinist Sadism.
Samuel Beckett and César Vallejo are buried in the same cemetery,
Sartre and Poe are buried elsewhere,
And Pound and Ginsberg wander undead between epitaphs.
Samuel Beckett and César Vallejo are buried in the same cemetery,
And Walser, wherever you are, no more jokes on Thomas Mann!
Sartre and Poe are buried elsewhere.
Sarah Orne Jewett however is alive, and living with Amy Beach by the shore.
[please write the next line in the comments. The rule for the poem is that each line must contain references to two individuals, like Sade and Stalin in the first line. I reserve the right not to use your line if I don't like it].

Beck's a Scientologist but I don't suffer this pain like Cesar Vallejo.
And Sartre would never be buried near Vallejo.
Sorry, you can't mention the same proper name again once it has been used. I forgot to mention that rule.
Interminable analysis: a rule for following a rule. . . Wittgenstein and Godel already killed that one. Sorry, Jonathan.
But Sartre and Poe are buried elsewhere--
Baudelaire, Mallarme! La necrophilie ne me sauverai pas de sadisme!
Nice try. I don't want to repeat Sadisme from Jordan's line, though.
and Pound and Ginsberg wander undead between epitaphs.
And Walser, wherever you are, more jokes on Thomas Mann, please!
Sarah Orne Jewett however is alive, and living with Amy Beach by the shore.
