our boxcar bound for no-one-knows. after every hidden seed out from its covering has been free and every book has been discarded from the bookshelf. cattail down
in the forgetting of myself. cattail down
replace the feathers in our vest. cattail down
surround the ivy that's gone to poison in my chest. the parachute broke loose!
cried the goose with misplaced concern for his little brother's mental health
his happy little brother in the forgetting of himself. cattail down
around the bulrush the pollen shed. cattail down
to dress my wounds
it left a bee sting in their stead. have been anger thoughts from out my head
headed east out of st. paul we stopped for water
rested in the cemetery
watched the mississippi. running out of food stamps
found a bag along the footpath off highway 61
filled with what looked like marijuana. hopped a grainer out of pig's eye toward milwaukee
the deer between the tower and the tracks saw right through us
said: you don't know where you came from
you don't know where you're going. you think you're you
but you don't know who you are
you're not you. you're everyone else. you're everyone else.
