Love that bore me I bear back to my Origin with no loss, I float over
the
thrilled with my deathlessness, thrilled with this endlessness I dice
and bury, come Poet shut up eat my word, and taste my mouth in
your ear.
Years digesting you, swimming in your vomit,
Murderer of America, money, consumption,
Your vision is a Cosmopolitan Greeting with the entire universe, the Buddha, the shit in the gutters of Calcutta, the needles strewn near Washington Square Park, the bombs that crush Baghdad, the tanks that topple fleeing Russian citizens, the bastard phony Communists in Czechoslovakia, Rockwell's plutonium, the Khaki Baba's wisdom, Methedrine, LSD, god of Peyote, earful of Marijuana, Sacco and Vanzetti, the Chicago Seven, the Wobblies, streetcorner evangel in front of city hall, prone horses in Mexico, CIA diarrhea in Central America, dying Bald Eagle, Paranoia Smog Factory East Wing Vietnam, insanity in Rockland, lobotomies of consciousness, lobotomies of the real, ecstasy of young boys asses, McCarthy scare, heartless Ike Eisenhower, Star Spangled Banner, the monster of Hollywood,
jizzum of glory,
Are you the cleaning organ of American poetry? Has your liver trapped the loosening Breath? Where is the aethereal spirit now? Hadja no more to do? Sir spirit, Why'dja leave us all here?
