mostly i wondered about the word 'peace'
and whether it was a little play
or possibly a misspelling.
godless & songless, western man dances with the stuffed gorilla through all the blind alleys of a dead-end world.

it's the attituide. is "moi" a kiss or a "moishe"??
are you in the tent when the rocket comes crashing"
do you see the weathering of dumbya's face?
are you with the insurgent masses when they aks you to
teach me about shelly
but don't parade around with a fully belly. man,
cause santa claus got a sleigh, man,
an his reindeers are high on angel dust, man,
an they flying around the world.
no he ain't a band.he's the dude, abiding, post traumatic scrooge
imbibing.
empty pockets before begging.

heyu zeus\
the best minds of their generation\now what?
i saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves thru the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix
is there a creative parallel to this?

that first poem has some dowsing truths in there.
pointing towards water. a deepening of perception
a zen koan, for sure.

It was an intentional pun, mindbum... a cheat, er cheap way to get across a double-meaning.

down and out
santa cruz sidewalks
old man with bowler hat and musical saw

gave him a free ride in my taxi.
he gave me a little book
wobblies manifesto

bowler hat tipped
smiling hello goodbye
into pacific hotel
