The Bench

i was on a bench
                                               in a deep park
                                         and thought, by some miracle
                                               of all the things which are
                                         i was leafed with brain
                                               rutted by mind
                                                   i felt i had expanded
                                               loose consciousness
                                         i was no longer background
                                                           music playing through trees
                                         i was a blooming autumn leaf
                                               i was the death in spring
                                         i was bountiful winter
                                               and carious summer
                                         i understood the blessings of mind
                                               it is our vehicle ontos
                                                   it is the thirteenth blackbird
                                               irreligous mosaic of birds
                                         it is eliots rare water
                                               and his purified knight
                                         it is ginsbergs holy litany
                                                         and surrealistic cantos
                                         it is kandinskys conductor brush
                                               floating pleated metal dreams
                                         it is the energy in soft dew
                                                         it is the calmness of stars
                                         it is the curious knowledge of treefrogs
                                                 and the foolish vice of the poet
I am allowed in certain bars, drink whiskey by rivers
           act white in saloons and gregarious
ride imaginary horses, imaginary cigarettes
                             i write poems for squares
                                   i sit in parks and smoke the leaves of grass
