I went to the river last night Dreamed of being a river and sleeping like a river You searched for a **** who was like a river Along the East River and the Bronx Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt, River! that in silence windest On its way to a rendezvous with some river

The Piers (a cento)
I went to the river last night Dreamed of being a river and sleeping like a river You searched for a **** who was like a river Along the East River and the Bronx Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt, River! that in silence windest On its way to a rendezvous with some river
