In the Public Bathroom

Where everyone

Is
            So happy
                            (So gay!)

So FREE      !!

•

Oh see the Sweet little boy !

With his cowboy hat
Spurs
Playing magical games!

Up & down the street!

••

••

I see

(Look!
                      ---see! )

She walks the deep night
Under the dreamy light the moon sheds

So plaintively into

All shattered dreams

••

Lo!  See!

The poet there!

What the hell HAS HE GOT TO SAY?

••

---------(      Come,
Let us follow!

Let us
listen! -------closely!
now

He

Very shortly very shortly!

Will glance toward god
Then look in our direction

And with pure wisdom
Craft
&
Discretion

Start to speak         )-------
