a Great Sitter Under Trees,
And a Man of Trees,
And a Man of Sorrows,
And a Lemon Light
of Angel Sounds
and Singer of Religion
wild singer of come-igion
wild lover of the origin
wild hater of hate his own
Convulsive writer of Poems
And dialog for Saints
Stomping their feet
On Pirandelloan stage
32nd Chorus
Newton’s theory of relativity
and grave gravity
Is that rocks’ll fall on your head
Pluto is the Latest Star
Astronomical facts
from under the bar.
Little cottages on hills receive
the Constellation of
the Southern Hemisphere
Where rosy doves’re seen flyin
Past Pis Cacuaqaheuro
Monte Visto de Santo
De Gassa – healing helium
gas – from the substance
on the sun star –
gas discovered on the sun
by spectral gazing
Sorcerers hoppity skop
with the same familiarity
In my Buddhaland dreams –
Monotonous monotony
of endless grape dirigible stars
33rd Chorus
A vast cavern, huh?
I stop & jump to other field
And you wander around
Like Jap prisoners
In Salt Lake Cities
Under San Francisco’s
Sewage disaster.
“An explorer of souls
and cities –”
“A lowdown junkey” –
“Who has discovered
that the essence of life
is found only in the poppy plant
with the help of odium
the addict explores
the world anew
and creates a world
in his own image
with the help of Madame
Poppy
I’m an idealist
who has outgrown
my idealism
I have nothing to do
the rest of my life
but do it
and the rest of my life
to do it”
34th Chorus
“I have no plans
No dates
No appointments with anybody
So I leisurely explore
Souls and Cities
Geographically I’m from
and belong to that group
called Pennsylvania Dutch
But I’m really a citizen
of the world
who hates Communism
and tolerates Democracy
Of which Plato said 2000 years
ago,
Was the best form of bad government
I’m merely exploring souls & cities
From the vantage point
Of my ivory tower built,
Built with the assistance
of Opium
That’s enough, isnt it?”
35th Chorus
It was the best show,
the guys used to give up
a good movie
just to hear him talk
Now is the Time
Now is the Time
To kill an hour
and Delaware Punch
each
A Star is Born –
muckle lips in the movie
“I’d rather not” –
“I really dont wanta go” –
Yeah, fuck the movie.
Fuck the mambo.
Fuck is a dirty word
But
