raining&lt;br /&gt;out of time.&lt;br /&gt;Black will be admitted on black as&lt;br /&gt;memories of the jass&lt;br /&gt;that waits on the streets&lt;br /&gt;to live again, the street corner&lt;br

fuck&lt;br /&gt;from my heart's home.&lt;br /&gt;I can hear the train&lt;br /&gt;chuckling along&lt;br /&gt;in the corner of a small rain&lt;br /&gt;and the moon is wearing&lt;br /&gt;a laced grown made of&lt;br /&gt;whistling and thinking&lt;br /&gt;and beating back&lt;br /&gt;the journey to the&lt;br /&gt;promises made by the moon.&lt;br /&gt;Too soon the touch blossoms,&lt;br /&gt;too soon the condition&lt;br /&gt;of being human will kill you.&lt;br /&gt;Too soon is just&lt;br /&gt;an impressionistic mirror&lt;br /&gt;where only within you can&lt;br /&gt;see the true God.&lt;br /&gt;Too soon December&lt;br /&gt;is a weight for change&lt;br /&gt;and a Pope named&lt;br /&gt;Governor of the meek.&lt;br /&gt;The pores of my skin&lt;br /&gt;is as ecstatic as&lt;br /&gt;Hebrews leaking&lt;br /&gt;stuffed hitch cocks.&lt;br /&gt;Of Hitchcock&lt;br /&gt;Silent is my vacant ear,&lt;br /&gt;my vacated declares&lt;br /&gt;and beautiful ecstatic&lt;br /&gt;guilt of being nothing&lt;br /&gt;more then a man in love&lt;br /&gt;with mystic sorrows&lt;br /&gt;and damned innocent&lt;br /&gt;waiting to be born again.&lt;br /&gt;But life is leaking away&lt;br /&gt;from me by the tic of a second.&lt;br /&gt;Life led me by the hand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to my death that wait and can&lt;br /&gt;hardly stand not to take me.&lt;br /&gt;Death waits in an East lake chair.&lt;br /&gt;Death to me have&lt;br /&gt;lied all the time but&lt;br /&gt;will not die out of my life&lt;br /&gt;until the time I&lt;br /&gt;have not the strength to requisite&lt;br /&gt;my resisting of it.&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere there is&lt;br /&gt;always living its life,&lt;br /&gt;all the years of our time.&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere the wind is alive,&lt;br /&gt;the running round of the stars.&lt;br /&gt;Alive life is the only God&lt;br /&gt;written in cosmetic's cosmic stuff;&lt;br /&gt;dust and dirt at dusk&lt;br /&gt;and decomposing&lt;br /&gt;of cold men and women.&lt;br /&gt;Life can not not be whimsical&lt;br /&gt;and uncalled for, for&lt;br /&gt;none asks to be born.&lt;br /&gt;Life is only by the whims&lt;br /&gt;of the Gods who birth us&lt;br /&gt;then leave us to fend for ourselves&lt;br /&gt;as we leave tracks&lt;br /&gt;in the hell am man's making&lt;br /&gt;but Nature will not long&lt;br /&gt;let us spoil the garden..&lt;br /&gt;The Gods do not speak English&lt;br /&gt;Nature is their interpreter&lt;br /&gt;and she have tings being born&lt;br /&gt;and dieing as not to care&lt;br /&gt;about the survivable of humankind.&lt;br /&gt;The priests can only&lt;br /&gt;translate for man made Gods&lt;br /&gt;and the priest is human&lt;br /&gt;therefore susceptible to the flesh.&lt;br /&gt;Only poets not the priest&lt;br /&gt;can translate what the Gods do not believe.&lt;br /&gt;Each poem is a sermon,&lt;br /&gt;each poem is an intermission\&lt;br /&gt;not of life but in it,&lt;br /&gt;each poem is a walking tear&lt;br /&gt;that refuses to dry,&lt;br /&gt;a done thing of denial,&lt;br /&gt;a soft jass of a crack chalk line,&lt;br /&gt;a jass of a challenging key,&lt;br /&gt;a lonesome meeting of yourself&lt;br /&gt;this is the poem&lt;br /&gt;an emerging into the clock&lt;br /&gt;where tick took is but a mirror&lt;br /&gt;made of tin gingerbread&lt;br /&gt;covered with lead mad in China&lt;br /&gt;for American's consumption.&lt;br /&gt;The roads are anonymous  &lt;br /&gt;Indian's veins running&lt;br /&gt;to the nerves of the city&lt;br /&gt;St. Louis and where the&lt;br /&gt;tragedies are played on the&lt;br /&gt;stage of everything.&lt;br /&gt;This emerging into being&lt;br /&gt;this hollowness of the moon&lt;br /&gt;smelling of bison's bones&lt;br /&gt;and the great divide of dignity&lt;br /&gt;where the destruction of will\&lt;br /&gt;lives in the dusty voyage&lt;br /&gt;of all our tears&lt;br /&gt;a river that waste its flow&lt;br /&gt;into the oneness&lt;br /&gt;of truth and lies&lt;br /&gt;for what I spy&lt;br /&gt;is not the animal’s&lt;br /&gt;source nor the dying  sky seen&lt;br /&gt;in the faces of the dead&lt;br /&gt;who knows only one position&lt;br /&gt;and can not not anything&lt;br /&gt;or know to clutch&lt;br /&gt;the coffins''s handles.&lt;br /&gt;Willful destruction&lt;br /&gt;is a promise that&lt;br /&gt;Nature makes&lt;br /&gt;and to wet&lt;br /&gt;the trouble with our form&lt;br /&gt;and capitalism is that it is&lt;br /&gt;no longer as America&lt;br /&gt;as apples but as American as&lt;br /&gt;the get me some.&lt;br /&gt;Willful destruction&lt;br /&gt;is the
