Nature vs Nerves in E Major

*do note that this poem is a univocal lipogram- the only vowel used is "e". *

when she seeks dejected cement,
her nerves, fervent
eject excelled elements.

when she needs creeks,
green trees,
elk
her nerves defect.
their elements creep.
the ejected speed?
feeble,
demented.

Perfect, her nerves, when she seeks lewd men.
the nerves persevere,
her nerves secrete blessed excellence.

when she seeks sweet nettles,
free egrets,
even weeds,
her nerves,
perplexed,
eschew these needs.
