- under cement skies / in an abstract landscape
- false windmills
- we are the same people / only further from home
- on a concrete continent
- and elephants in bathtubs / floated past us out to sea
- dropping free railway tickets from los angeles to heaven
- empty ellis islands
- cinerama holy days
- a kissproof world of plastic toiletseats & tampax & taxis, drugged store cowboys & las vegas virgins
- dead sunflowers... telephones... sawdust circuses... human cannonballers filled the air like cries
- cobalt flowers
- when cadillacs fell from the trees like rain
- and lost teacups / full of our ashes / floated by
- in the city of san francisco / in a little side street / just off the avenue / where no birds sang / & the sun was coming up on time / in its usual fashion / & just beginning to shine / on the status of saint francis
- very straight/straw hair... her eyes downcast all the while / and singing to herself
- and they fed on honeydew
- these pink fish among the mountains
- whitebone drones
- among hallucinary moons
- the poet like an acrobat
- circus tents... cathedrals... carousels... merry go-rounds... cakewalkers... carnies... conversations... 'our circus soul'
- frightened / by the sound of my / own voice
- of this unshaved today
- the pennycandy store beyond the El / is where i first / fell in love / with uncertainty / jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom / of that September afternoon...
- outside the leaves were falling as they died
- a wind had blown away the sun
- her hair was rainy
- thru screendoor summers / thru the backstreets / of all my memories
- starfish
- bald husbands
- among the puddled leavings
- rivulets
- in the sand's soft flesh
- o the sweet love fevers
- like anna karenina lost in the snow
- ...and then comes tumbling down the sound...
