"All flesh is one: what matter scores?" in When Elephants Last In The Dooryard Bloomed : Celebrations For Almost Any Day In The Year (1973)
Context: All flesh is one: what matter scores;

All is fine spring-found-again-in-autumn day
When juices run in antelopes along our blood, And green our flag, forever green…
