Once you’ve got the playing list, the lines more or less select themselves, but you still have to play them with a sense of timing…
Dalai Lama’s dispensing calm, holds catches in the stands,
even glaciers stand
raining runs in the city of rain.
Mountaintops are standing-room only,
achievements, a handkerchief,
biff bam.

Then, if we translate each of those names into the most appropriate poetic line, I think the poem more or less writes itself:
thought it was the police it was just the beasties
dalai lamas dispensing calm holds catches in the stands
raining runs in the city of rain
i drown in the spray of phenomena
eyes lose shape
biff bam
cant stand
reschs dinner ale
the werewolf speaks for the wolf how is that?
