dear sal, it's fine blue-skied day here on the Great Plains and the plane of my spirit, though hardly great, is gliding over the green-leaved trees, the graffitti-graced brick walls, the bottle-strewn streets and the broken lives of the city below. while the up-draft lasts, i'm delta-winging this eight and a half by eleven pen and ink on bond yer way via hyped-up space. Peace and may your innumerable offspring always sing praise to the Great One.
the Future is like a god to us
everyone i love is there
this is my message to the Future:
call me back
i called collect;
the voices of the Future say:
where i await to be born
ringing in glory
but no one will pick up the receiver
as soon as you conceive me...
can you hear what i am
saying here?
no one wants to accept the charge
let the Past
ring up the Past.
your
politicians
misled us
your economists enslaved us
why should we listen
to the
words
of your poets?
