Bliss, Idaho

Erren Kelly

in bliss idaho at
the miracle hot springs
i met a woman whose eyes
told the stories of gypsies, while
martin luther king got hitler
to relax; hitler put down his gun
and finally connect with
his inner child

this woman had olive skin
and could read the movies inside
my head; nearby,
albert einstein was teaching lester
maddox chess over a cup of
tea

she looked like she was italian,
but she could've easily been asian
she claimed peace was the only country
she belonged to
miles davis played riffs as mozart
accompanied him
as young jackie kennedy danced
a striptease

the girl of no country
told me anyone who sat
in the waters
would be young forever
you didn't need money in bliss
freedom here was the only
law

jesus played video games with
holden caulfield
and when jesus lost
holden smiled and said
look at the bright side
of everything

i sat in the water with her
as she sat between my legs
i felt like god had finally
answered my prayers

john lennon and general mac aruthur
were busy sticking sunflowers
in the barrels of machine guns

in bliss, idaho
i found true love...
