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
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
