Sink in your shoes

Oh thank you -

           Woody,


  Guthrie.

- for your trembling fierce warble of the fearless road laid like a goose egg song for the people

Oh thank you -

         Mr. _________

- for your presidential incompetency and incalculable inability to calculate, which has left that great depression in the accounts of the story for all of the school children year upon year

Oh thank you -

            Robert,


    Zimmerman.

From that great every mans land,

            Hibbing,

      
     Minnesota.

- for your frothy boilings that spilled upon a nation like a sand man sprinkle and opened the ears, whose path is direct to the soul

Oh thank you -

           Mr. Allen,


     Ginsberg.

-for audaciously drooling vulgarity into every phallic and vaginal nook of an adolescent country in a nuclear climate of sexual and imaginative oppression of freedom.

We recognize senior Jesus,
and dearest Lou Tzu,
and the great Buddha,

all are in the belly now,

and each have laid a hand upon

the knob of the door
