He's suspicious of mad mystic poets
Sorry, that's what I was given
Catholic, Buddhist, unorthodox
Transcontinental livin'

Swedenborg is interesting
Saw his tomb in Uppsala
Henry James, Sr.
Rumi, Al Hallaj, Allah

Johnny Appleseed
Primitive Christian Ohio
A pal's last need a thing to heed
Europa, Enceladus, Io

I just cannot stop writing
Something broken inside me
My wish a knock on the door
She's comin' to help me and hide thee

I tell myself somethin's comin'
But, of course, it never does
I keep searchin' more than findin'
Searchin' and searchin' because ...

                 I wish I was!
