AI Interpretation
A morning call attributed to SEdLIN urges the routines and important business of fathers, then abruptly admits doing nothing and getting drunk.
The final two rows puncture the preceding call to masculine routine. They are not separated by a source stanza gap.
A morning summons, 'It is morNiNg, SEdLIN SAyS', calls the men to 'risE ANd wAKE with / thE grEEtiNg suN', tie ties, strap boots, and do 'thE / things our fAthErs / usEd to do', then collapses into 'Didint do ANy thing / just got drUNK'.
The coda punctures the ceremonial call to inherited manhood without a stanza break, so the deflation arrives in the same breath; the speaker's name SEdLIN is a provisional reading.
