i

with a merry whistle
she opens an epistle
with a kiss

from the crow (which
is a stalking avis-if
you did n´t know)

from hades-she *****
marmalade
from a dissolute thumb..

i love you til times end
come
i love you  until

no flower effloresce
-bloom
i love you

til the seas run
to ruin
i love you

to a deserts silence
(and to a lou reed
tune..)

i love you from the
first time and the last
hue

my eyes perceive..
what to do?
say lily, oh say,

you love me too!?
down here a lost soul
drop me a line-

your little bird
perhapsabsurd
but always yourn..

i

there is inate flaw in words
but black and white apart
awesome hotdog..man

why bother writing?
and time, when we loose
and gain at a whim..

her eggs  have stuck
to the pan..
sunday morning..

postcard from berlin
i met a man who saved
his *****-easily done..

he worked on the stock exchange
his brother a murderer
close to pneumonia

i returned to the slaughter
house
we had run out of co-co and cream..

the keys to three houses
a cat and an egg
i said au revoir..

i spent a christmas in berlin
once-it was very nice..
but i have never been so cold and

stayed in some very strange places
and saw some interesting peoples
heard some stories

drank hot co-co and cream!
looked after cats and
had a nice time..

we have to dream or
else we go insane both
literally and whats-it..

says lily take a ******
revolution-to throw of the yoke
of the oppressor

the country is *****
to imperialistic power
kidnap and torture

rampant there..
90 percent poor
the literate fewer..higher


infant mortality or
life expectancy 50 or
bananna..

ii

no wonder we are all
banannas and you talk of
betrayal..

well i am only a few degrees
from backward
unable to talk.. etc..

when young and idealistict i
joined the communists
(and forgot all about it)
then,i come to believe all revolution
betrayed..

now,i refuse to think about it
and read and play music, instead
what might have been as tears
trickle from the eyes and
drip from the innocent chin..

still must n´t whine-
there was a time!
we had cities of tent
card board boxes..!

champagne
and sports car
our growth industries-
we went to war

for some distant shepards..
we became america-
somehow,
i did not know..

hard to know what history
would say..but i went away..
to blue skies and very
small rooms..
