Fresh. This record's a little 
scratchy, my little taco supreme.
The hand is faster than the eye.
Vous la! We're going to hear "Sex
Drive" in D minor. See you on
the flipside. Having my way with

the airwaves. Question Authority!
Playing Brooklyn's Sad Little Stars.
Citizen Kafka at Baggot Inn tonight!
"I'll be with you tonight!" "Under-
water Moonlight," by the Soft Boys,
my little polecat. We are climbing

Jacob's Ladder into the sky.
My screaming eagle! My eye!

MERCENARY POET

Hard to starboard, lads.
Let's make up someplace
new to go. How about
buzzer 3-E. Ali Baba
lives there. The Humps.
The Low Down.

I know you're going
to miss me when I go
but try to remember how
good you feel right now.

The Illusions doing
their hit, "Jezebel."

Don't cosset what you covet.
Don't be cross with me.
Don't act like you don't
know what I'm talkin' about.

NOTHING FOR YOU UNTOWARD

    	for Robert Creeley

Before there was beauty
there was no sorrow.
Before you, no me.
Before me now, you.

A black crow lights
on the white lawn
before a brick house
we call home.

What comes to me
I gather. Hold.
What wants to leave,
let go. Adios.

I believe in what I know.
What is kind, treat in kind.
Like a black crow
hopping on white snow

I stand for
where I go.
