testing, testing, 1,
2, 3, 4. five. 1, 2, 3.
4, five. that was.
that was really a
fantastic choice,
mister marvelous.
it was almost an
adventure bridge
leading us assuredly
to the next level.
it was this big fluffy
cloud in the shape
of a giant lemming—
and it’s got a silver
lining which, if we
chase in our electric
automobile all the way
to albuquerque (and we
do!) we’ll find that
it not only sparkles but
glows in the dark!
it’s midnight in
albuquerque now
and i am having
an epiphany a
catharsis an
aha moment a
breakthrough
that makes it
so obvious to me
how true this
too good that
you are to me
cannot con-
ceivably be.
but even a
dream is okay
with me. so long
as not until after
which do the
walls come
down with a
mighty tumb
ling crash
which nothing
falls through
not even the
other shoe;
the very same
shoe, which, when
on the other foot
is tingling with
unwalkable
sleep having
just awoken from
the sweetest most
floaty of dreams.
but because i
am used to this
by now i’ve got it
and i didn’t
even forget to
stretch it to its
limit to milk
it for as long
as is humanly
and humane
ly impossible.
so. we part
ways in
the desert
do not look
back i owe
you my life
my deepest
thank you
(you may
say it’s ver
boten but i
must not say
so). therefore
my sweet in
delible love
i bid you not
only a fond
adieu, but
I bid it
most ost
entatious
my raging
audacious
and not
barely
audible
[achoo!!]
apercu.
