fear and loathing on the bombing trail

gonna show it in july, mounted on a flag of
earthtoned red terra cotta, ultramarine blue, speckled yellow-green paper, dried wood frame.

st pete art center members' show
had to buy my way in.

I see the thousand-mile stare
and bumblebees falling
steel locusts in horror

and tears fallen onto inksplashes
because the clue is to touch
fear, regret, horror, sadness,

not to conform to scripted standards
salute, be honored, support more war

great to be a rebel into deeper humanity.
yet some would say i's a traitor
the journey of a thousand miles
walked by sojourner zen monk
claude anshin thomas
killed hundreds machine gunner choppers
woke up to the bell of mindfullness.

was it a dream
can't recall now, seems like
so many grains of sand away
i was dreaming of nut trees
and water;
desert shade
when a daisycutter took myhead off
and threw it in the lap of my child

not killing
not dropping daisy cutters
the still small voice of a child spake to me

just in time

good and saying
much for you
that someone
moved to fill your shoes
next guy paying different dues;
better at justification
or hiding truth behind eyes
of a stretched bill of goods

that conviction of youth,
the goodness of a soul
can be usurped
on a wing and a prayer
glad you flew
fly boy fly on
i salute you

i flew the coop
bailed out
ja!

allright
i'll submit a poem
yes i flew jetz
at 600 knots and ten thousand feet

didn't need exactly to be

yours beta testing
the non-phenomenal,
piph

excuze me
who sayz you is non-phenomenal

me, nobody special either,
the t-38 sucks people in,
it allures,
then, you are theirs.

i chose cargo planes, then chose
the ugliest smallest cargo plane of them all,

then
after a year of unwilling disenchantment,

(i wanted to conform, a natural conservative)
i came back in disillusion, found new friends in
anti-war folk, escpecially pot-smoking hipsters and anti-
war veterans.

you the hipster. without the hippies, there never would have been a counter-culture, never would have been anti-war vets organized, the biz worked as a whole, the romanticism of
cultural revolution, at that time, was the new allure,
thank GAWD, Claude, you a cornucopia of epiphaniez

thank hey u make me blush but wait!

i am saying
we are betatesting the lifeforce
and sometimes it takes form
like a jet
or a heart
and sometimes its even
bigger and formless and more still than that..
