My Instructions or My Tongue In My Cheek?

Do not visit me in the afternoon. i will associate you with Sunday Jazz and think you pretentious, obvious, blatantly announced. If you visit in the evening, i expect you will have something any one thing to show for yourself bring me a husk, a cirrus, a knoll, then bring on the twilight. Visit me at night, i will be glad, i will give you keys if you give me a constellation (but do make sure it's new, i can't stand them hand-to-hand). Visit me early. Sensing news, i will regard you as the sun and receive you accordingly. Unsure of appropriate tributes to such such a guest, i promise to feed you and fill you up with my dreams.

My commentating will come, yet! If I am free on Thursday, perhaps. But, until then, I must take pride in this poem, note the correlations to Francis' "Summons", and continue on...
