DAILY PLANET NEWS




Wanting more than coffee
task forces and international reviewers
the authorities from Massachusetts composing
a leisurely novel of past life
U.S. boys violating Canada's air space
a summer back in downtown Chicago
hunting in the Catskills
hurting inside of Asheville's smoky parlor
in Ohio a theme park collecting fees for nothing
having a ticket to the biggest play of all
an open door for big-name artists
the residents warming callused hands
over open coal fires from West Virginia
the evidence pointing to a breakdown
of the whirling green turnstiles of Earth
a course of oil and water and beer and wine
and song and dance and sweet charities
raising money for only money's sake
pop open the top of a Budweiser
from 1956 and relax
holding your life in escrow
painting lizard on your wagon
the wind has left the willow
for higher ground an Confederate dead
are mysteriously moving Northward
the prophets say our wounds will heal
importing salt from Shangri-la
cutting off the King's head it falls short
this Old Globe still spinning
at sixty moles per hour.
