FIRST THOUGHT BEST THOUGHT, 108 POEMS

DOES LOVE KILL ANYBODY?

Does love kill anybody?

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Love is not a burden, my dear!

Poetry is not a burden for the true poet.

The notion of "chain"

The notion of "blade"

Flowers

Honey

The moon

Chrysanthemums

Sweet smile

Teenager

College kids

Sharpened pencil

Incense sticks by the dozen

Red ribbons in your hair

Coca-Cola advertisements which speak of "action"

Sportsmanship

Skiing in the snow

A red pullover

Drinking cool beer

Be a sportsman in a unisex outfit

Sky-blue with red passion-stripes

Go-go person with wings on your sneakers

Intercontinental cosmopolitan sportsman getting into the love--

More poetry

More literature

Tokyo Cairo New Delhi Taj Mahal Paris

Blond hair of Oslo blond mule blond Pekingese--

Arabs brew good coffee,

But stabbing each other with a jewel-inlaid hack knife is another

            matter.

Love by telephone

Writing a love letter is creating a mistress

Bachelor creates mistress by making a date

Mind's duplicity

Run

Kick

Philosopher

Technocrats

Autocrats

Are bound by a unilateral declaration--

Money is no object.

What the wind sweeps,

What the fires burn,

I fall in love

Because love falls into me at home.

Rock is not loveable

But not-loveableness is loveable.

Take a thistle to bed

And make love to it.

 

5 June 1972
