At the performance of Ramblin Jack Eliot
And no one got up to throw red wine on her

ladies and gentlemen
Got these penny wings
out of boredom
I need to know
that black and grey place
inside an angel
where you bow your head,

Maybe love shouldn't exist
. . .
If we follow this notion
there is no great need
Where does it come from,
this great need?

If (it) is in the blood
how do they get it out?
If not,
where is it
If they do not allow

I remember one of my old high school intellectual friends introduced me to what he called a real wild blond girl named Sally or Marnie or something that summer of 1964. She was tall and blond and thin and looked like a model. Boys were usually afraid to

I wonder, just a thought
Who even dreamt to
Teach a pig Latin?
And why a starfish
Mirrors the stars
We do not know
There’s a whole lot
To wonder about
Like, I don’t know
How about Cloud 9?
I want to know what happened

They feed on image (alone)
Blood does not
shake their heart
