how to write a poem man, in 40 or 50 straight lines

open your nostrils,
break wind
smoke a joint or sumthin
kick the can over
set a hous on fire
have yourself a drink
get some ink
close your gaddam eyes man, I said no peaking!
water your motuh.
sing.
sometimes I just like to breathe.

'tis very good.

"break wind"

some traditions -- hindu and judaism come to mind -- regard the spirit and breath as connected, poets like Ginsberg have titles like Mind Breaths. but what if the soul were closer to the involuntary but sometimes controlable, often unpleasant and ocasionally funny, behavior of breaking wind?

"sing." nice and simple ending, but powerful!
I don't think 'Therefore, I am.' Therefore, I am.

If only I could write ONE straight line. I might be able to pass a sobriety test. :D
