Furious simon’s nasty humor
i had a dream
that the cook
leaned
& shook
his fist over the
balcony & said yes
to the people
yes the people
& he said this
to the people
‘i want four cups of stormtrooper
a tablespoon of catholic — five hideous paranoids
some water buffalo — a half pound of communist
six cups of rebel two cute atheists —
a quart bottle of rabbi — one teaspoon of
bitter liberal — some antibirth tablets —
three fourths black nationalist —
a dab of lemon cock powder —
some mogen david capitalists & a whole lot
of fat people with extra money’
then the cook’s helper
appeared
& cleared his throat & then he
said to the people yes the
people
‘also we’d like a mocking bird
& some maids in milking — some raped
college students & a drenched hen
two turtle gloves
& a partridge & a gin & a pear tree’
i awoke from this dream
in the state of fright then jumped out of bed &
ran for the kitchen — crashed thru the door &
slammed on the light/ fell on my
bended knees &
thanked God
that there was nothing new in
the ice box
dear Puck,
traded in my electric guitar for
one you call a gut one… you can play
it all by yourself — dont need a band
eliminates all the fighting except of
course for the other gut guitar
players am doing well — have no idea of
what’s happening but all these girls
with moustaches, theyre going crazy
over me — you must try them sometime —
weather is good — threw away all my lefty
frizzell records also got rid of my
parka — you can keep my cow as i now am
on the road to freedom
see yuh later aligator
