WAIT AND THINK

Wounded son—

How sad.

Never expected this.

Oily seagulls

Crippled jackal

Complaining flower—

Very sad.

Is it?

Is it?

Is it?

Maybe a couple of doughnuts might cure

Or, for that matter, wine that is turning into vinegar.

Little flowers

Snow drops

Early bird—

Hopefully gentle breeze will turn into hurricane.

That might be somebody’s wild guess.

William Burroughs’ rhetoric

Single-minded

Street dogs

Thieving dogs—

Oh how fantastic this world.

Julius Caesar never made it.

Suns and moons have their problems,

The galaxies of stars have their problems among them.

Mysterious world sad and happy:

The problem is that we are too serious.

Gurdjieffian literal thinking

Theosophical secrecy

Maroon car

Defective door

Glorious in the name of one-upmanship.

Does His Holiness sneeze?

Does His Holiness cough?

If he does,

Who doesn’t?

If he doesn’t,

Who does?

Truth of the matter is

We are a gigantic spider

Constantly weaving webs

But never giving birth.

Who is not brave enough to swallow the sun

Eat the earth

Bathe with the galaxies?

Let us join this feast

Free from orgy and ritual.

Hallelujah!

4 July 1975
