With Turkey In The News Poem by Douglas Scotney

In spite of,
therefore to spite
'akolouthos, akoluthos, etc.
Same as acoluthos, etc.'
I went to 'acolouthos',
and what's more,
knew I'd seen it before:
in my 'Byzantine History'
or Pamuk.

I hadn't seen
that 'acolouthic',
from the Greek for 'follower',
pertains to 'the after-image
that follows upon the immediate effect
of a stimulus',
therefore to the imagination.

One day could 'imagination'
go 'akolouthos';
therefore go 'akolouthocracy'?
