I guess it’s so, the rows of streets paved at our feet Black tar seas, summer’s heat provides the street The shoe and sun and shallow ***, Bottles and bottles branding the sill To help the soul: the full of swill. Nine and a half sometimes a quarter Into machines they call a “disorder”. And to no prevail the summer will hail A day of peace and a promise of more, But the day is young and night to old. And so turn with seared toe and heel From the papers of tomorrow myself I’ll peel.
