That Fly on My Finger —
He’s not scared of Me
& look — how big am I?
–
I’m not scared of The Universe —
It’s been squashed down into Human proportions
inside My Mind
at The Tip of My Finger
The Hawk West Deck Window 11:46am
I have The Power
to Reshape The Universe
I have The Power
to Reshape The Universe
I have The Power to
Reshape The Universe
I Have To
I Have To
Reshape — Reshape
The Universe is not some array of pond scum
The Universe Is Me
I’m a Moon Worshipper —
I just ate a banana
while looking at The Moon
and laid the peel
on the window sill
below
I have been made uncomfortable —
no, I didn’t lose My House in a hurricane —
I have lost My Trust
My Faith
in Humanity
— not God —
there will always be God for Me
made only too obvious
by The Shower Of Silver Lights
& I used to say God is Humanity and Humanity is God —
where is Our Human Intelligence
Our Honesty
Our Correct Judgement
Our Truth?
Am I to shoot
Silver Streaks
at My Fellow Man?
& The Women —
what should I shoot at Them —
flowers out of pistol barrels?

Who told Me nineteen years ago Today
in The Most Melodious Voice
I had ever heard:
“You Know The Meaning Of Life
& So You Are A Star —
so go to sleep”
I once stood before a window screened
with hardware cloth
in an institution
of not My Choosing
–
from an upper storey
I stood there as if
before a microphone
I called out
to imaginary Children below
to save Them from the water’s edge
to save The Gulls from extinction
