Christian Spleen
Some people
use Christianity
as a
smokescreen
to vent
spleen.
Boy,
are they
in for
a surprise
come
Judgement Day.

There
are no
best years.
There are
clusters of
years each
cluster with
its shining
moments, knee-
deep in
the bone
yard of
the shining
moments of
the clusters
that came
before it.
That’s why
children are
so radiant.
The ball
hasn’t
started to
roll yet.

I miss
the days
of the
typewriter
the mimeo
the dial
telephone
& communication
by mail.
We’ve
forgotten
how to
pause.

Your deep
psyche that
you’re oblivious
to always
has its
antennae up.
What’s needed
for reception
is people
(poets artists
& musicians
of the
highest order)
who without
realizing it
relay messages
from the
Cosmic Psyche
to the
personal psyche.
This is
not a
transferral of
information or
even of
knowledge it’s
a direct
transference of
knowing.
Any attempt
at deciphering
this phenomenon
causes it
to vanish.

Bob Dylan
& Leonard
Cohen sitting
next to
each other
on the
Red Eye
out of
L.A. not
speaking
except to
exchange a
few words
about who
gets the
window seat.

Sitting on
the hill
in the
early morning
watching the
crows gliding
high over
the rodeo
grounds shows
me all
there is
to know
about harmony.
