In Transito- 20 Oct. Wed., 1976,- Dixie Cups knives forks dishes spoons- Fantastic Flashlight you're in big game country You're Walking in outer space In a mountain rescue Team fighting off a dragon Exploring A ghost town Examining a train for secret agents! Aha! "The Nostoi" Tinge of the cold as I get out of my bed At 5:00 A.M The marble cock-crow of Peter in the courtyard Blood-red Nail-polish worn by commuters on the bus tries to flap it's wings As I look up once again "No Smoking" -How many poets of the future will make a play on words of that! The journey is a journey of purification Divesting itself America As I leave and enter each of Its cities The Seven Cities of Homer the Seven Cities of Cibola Where my words wind in and Out like the procession Of dancers during Holy Week of The Yaqui Easter O Anonymity of Women walking to work in a sea of svelt-silk-stockinged legs! Dashing through rapid fire jokes At their expense "A photo-finish" "If I had a nickel to get around the world" ( - A Redcap) "I couldn't get started" Truant muse what shall be Your amends A woman travelling on board with her A^gapanthus (of the lily family) "It's so much nicer now" In the old days they used to give you a lead pillow! |
