that impress? What failure to be perfect prophet's made up here? I  dream of
my kindness to T.S. Eliot wanting  to be a historical  poet and share in his
finance of Imagery- overambitious dream of eccentric boy. God forbid my evil
dreams come true. Last nite I dreamed of Allen Ginsberg. T.S. Eliot would've
been ashamed of me.

Under The World There's A Lot Of Ass A Lot Of Cunt

a lot of mouths and cocks, under the world there's a lot of come, and  a lot
of  saliva  dripping into  brooks, There's a lot of  Shit  under  the world,
flowing beneath cities into rivers, a lot of urine floating under the world,
a lot  of snot in the world's  industrial nostrils, sweat under world's iron
arm, blood gushing out of  the world's breast, endless lakes  of tears, seas
of sick vomit rushing between the hemispheres floating towards Sargasso, old
oily  rags and brake fluids, human gasoline- Under the world there's  pain,
fractured  thighs, napalm burning in black hair, phosphorus eating elbows to
bone  insectiside  contaminating oceantide, plastic  dolls  floating  across
Atlantic, Toy soldiers crowding the Pacific, B-52 bombers choking jungle air
 with vaportrails and brilliant flares
Robot drones careening over rice terraces dropping cluster grenades,
 plastic pellets spray into flesh,
dragontooth mines & jellied fires  fall on  straw roofs and water  buffalos,
perforating  village huts  with  barbed  shrapnel,  trenchpits  filled  with
fuel-gas-poisen'd explosive powders- Under the world there's broken skulls,
crushed feet, cut eyeballs,
 severed fingers, slashed jaws,
Dysentry, homeless millions, tortured hearts, empty souls.
We Rise On Sun Beams And Fall In The Night
Dawn's orb orange-raw shining over Palisades bare  crowded branches bush  up
from marshes- New Jersey with my father riding automobile highway to Newark
Airport- Empire State's spire, horned buildingtops, Manhattan rising as  in
W.  C. Williams'  eyes  between  wire  trestles- trucks  sixwheeled  steady
rolling overpass  beside New York- I am here tiny under sun rising  in vast
white sky, staring thru skeleton new buildings, with pen in hand awake…

Hum Bom!

Whom bomb?  We bomb them! Whom bomb? We  bomb them! Whom bomb? We bomb them!
Whom bomb? We bomb them!
Whom bomb? You bomb you!  Whom bomb? You bomb you! Whom bomb? You  bomb you!
Whom bomb? You bomb you!
What do we do? Who do we bomb? What do we do? Who do we bomb? What do we do?
Who do we bomb? What do we do? Who do we bomb?
What do we do? You  bomb! You bomb them!  What do we  do? You bomb! You bomb
them! What do we  do? We bomb! We bomb them! What do we do? We bomb! We bomb
them!
Whom  bomb? We  bomb you! Whom bomb? We  bomb you! Whom bomb? You bomb  you!
Whom bomb? You bomb you!

Autumn Leaves

At  66,  just learning how  to take care of my body  Wake cheerful 8 a.m.  &
write in a notebook rising from my bed side naked leaving a naked boy asleep
by  the  wall  mix miso  mushroom leeks  &  winter  squash  breakfast, Check
bloodsugar, clean teeth  exactly, brush, toothpick, floss, mouthwash oil  my
feet,  put on white shirt white  pants white sox sit solitary by the sink  a
moment before brushing my hair, happy not yet to be a corpse.
