not really getting my point about the lamp

its licking flames pointing to the darkness in our hearts

in broad daylight

me, living out of a cracker barrel in my mind,

always cheesed about sumpin,

Love Minus Zero playing in my head

around and around, up and down it goes

like like like Rita Moreno in Carnal Knowledge

donkeypumpin

my blues away after the Smith College girl

blew me off, like five easy pieces of Judas silver,

too good for my blues, all jewels and binoculars

and art garfunkel smug as

a trustee in the Catch-22 zoo

.

I woke up this morning.
