blueberry pie

last date on the street

far beyond manicured steps

past falterin green notes

dashed with precise voicings nobodyz ever heard,

Alaskan sea trawlers beepin the exact harmonic---

unaware---


HAIR HAIR HAIR HAIR

Orange Bear Grateful Hair---

and the leather jacket suite swingin at the Mars Hotel

afternoon yellow sweaters deflatin in the tow away circle grinnin radio jazz ships,

and sailors wearin bras

impatient for the fishers up there in Eureka to bring home more crab meat,

O sweet tooth apology!

fortune tellers minus postcards and coin,

lawyers performin lobotomies on pathologists minimum wage---


FLOWERS FLOWERS FLOWERS FLOWERS

White Winter Krishna Corset---

and purple Chinese New Year firecrackin in Berkeley and nearby Walnut Creek,

no themes responsible as long as there’s a celebration

featuring Grachan Moncur III on greased slide trombone,

Bird visionary cantos blown above then straight down

witnessed by Masonic prostitutes

smokin menthol cigarettes contemplatin sundown,

shadin---

JONES JONES JONES JONES

Jones Comin Down---

and epitaphic telegrams dispatched to Victorian Steiner Street dollhouses,

flashin graphics carved from everybody’s backpockets,

Tuesday night Poets studyin finger drum exercises in

reformed Hassidic temples---


WHARF WHARF WHARF WHARF

and prehistoric mockingbirds burn solar electricity in this City

where shell stringers fuse blowtorch fireworks,

where ex-patriot New York Rheingold spaghetti is mistaken for beer

where movin trains are fueled by endless reptile energy---


LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD

White Lizard Abalone Saxophones Opalescin These Streets---

and leather jackets with nocturnal buttons

sweat and steam Harlem style,

where sweet gypsies pick pockets for 24 karat golden handcuffs,

where contemplators hang out

fishin for azurite arrowheads

lifted between cracks in the sidewalks,

hungrily lickin soybean ice cream bars---

MOTIF MOTIF MOTIF MOTIF

White Plastered Motif Inside Atypical Windy Bay Backgrounds---

Ground Earth Table Beehive…everybody’s hummin

Classical Peanutbutter Cake…everybody’s agreein---

Easy Street!


and chimpanzee wilderness solitude here

up and back down this roller-bop reticence,

with bandana women skateboardin way past speed limits,

their magic canes flyin in the wind of things

O magic of these streets---

WOLF WOLF WOLF WOLFSHIT

Hypnotic Howlin Symphony, Movin On---spinnin down

this sweet licorice tasting transcendental trip

simply noddin inside the inevitable Bop Music

that curls up inside bushy pubic prophetic beards,

sexless,

tasteless,

rubber shoulders,

naked nostrils,

blessed tears!

HOLY EROICA IMAGINATION

LOVERS MASSAGIN EACH OTHER IN BALLPARKS---


BUTTERFLYS WEARIN CACTUS SAGUARO SLIPPERS

CARRYIN SIGNS

READIN: HATE WAVES, LOVE WAVES---

WAVES WAVES WAVES WAVES

White Wave Moonride---

you make today harmonize to herself

like, even cigarette butts indicate Renaissance,

excited about bein transformed into seagulls!

and prospectors on their knees prayin for gold tooth fillins,

then smearin rainbow toothpaste across parking meters

while fiddle players tune up in alleyways,

before hitchin to gig overnight in Tahoe---

ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE

A Drive Through This Crystal Bay Night

Keeps Those Bio-Rhythms Dry

Occasionally Pausin For Another Sip Of Rosy O’Grady

Toastin The Tavern On Fresno Street

Aimin Pisses At Hamburger Fake Protein Counters Toward Nevada

Disgruntlin Gifted Generations

By Leapin Through Even More Doorways

Down Naked Blackholes In The Sky

Screamin---

EARTH EARTH EARTH EARTH

White Boundary Surprise, Wishin---

DREAMS DREAMS DREAMS DREAMS

All Now Part Dream

Part Universal Reservoir

Part Reality Sandwich…

Oh No Sufferin Is Holy!

CITY CITY CITY CITY

STREETS STREETS STREETS STREETS

Up and Down These Hip-notic Visions,

This Sacred Pilgrimage

Always Comes On

Like A Big Ol Peacepipe

To Sip Away

This Dream Come True
