SHASTA ROAD
Rationalists have found that there is a bird in the sky.
Experimentalists say maybe this bird is a kite.
Donkeys have their way to be stubborn.
People from a Cossack town have their particular food.
Butterflies and bats have differences in their language.
Practitioners are fascinated by their practice,
Practitioners painfully experiencing their practice
debating the reality
of Timbuktu.
Million stones and trillions space are one in the area of
mutual pain.
Gooseberry and chicken feet are one in the realm of
totality.
Jungle kid and ocean crocodile are rebellious in the realm
of mutual
interest.
Highfaluted holiness depressed politician burning hot
pliers
Are in the same realm as barking Pekingese at Madame
Chang's
apartment.
Max King and Patricia King and Martha Washington who knows,
Thistles poison oak grasshoppers made into juice,
Bushmen's Ph.D. Siamese cat eating frog eyes.
Prostrations are premature to give to the adolescent
student.
Pinetree Doves Coralrock Porcupine Pippi Porky Poodle
Pissmen
are in the realm of polarities.
Glory be to tonight's poet.
Who's who? What's what? Nobody knows.
But everybody knows,
Including our kind neighbor who would never harm a flea.
But willing to cut your throat.
1 February 1975
