A Short Poetic Dream

i am the seafarer 

ate a cottled egg, fixed fresh 

cooked stirred hot in porcelain 

witness two in love, making hopes real 

coming from need and despair 

faith being where you and | 

meet or refuse to meet 

big Sleep 

of young photogene 

post-structure, vague of rhyme 

professor wrinkled nose 

my parents, just a half-day drive away 

somehow no closer then than Polaris itself 

their home and dorm illuminated after sunset 

and returning it to its jar 


as the writer Philip K. Dick suggests, 


"Things Are Not Always As They Seem 
love, happiness, intimacy 

the drowned sailer 

cannot be revived 

acknowledge the reef where the waves pulled him in 
walk by, head on 

tougher than before, with something to share 
iam the seafarer 

on seas of information 

were nightly features 

oh, and to study, my connection 

and returning it to its jar 

as the writer Philip K. Dick suggests, 

faith being where you and | 

meet or refuse to meet 

my parents, just a half-day drive away 
somehow no closer then than Polaris itself 
where coffee, dancing, women 

were nightly features 

witness two in love, making hopes real 
coming from need and despair 


witness two in love, making hopes real 


coming from need and despair 

tougher than before, with something to share 
and returning it to its jar 

as the writer Philip K. Dick suggests, 
tougher than before, with something to share 
remember our song, 

the lyrics: 

tougher than before, with something to share 
remember our song, 

faith being where you and | 

meet or refuse to meet 

big Sleep 

witness two in love, making hopes real 
coming from need and despair 

tougher than before, with something to share 
where child of parents, farm-hand 

moved to city, merged with populace 

a sweet sadness swelled 

the poet, born with double hernia 

awkward, big-eared, sensitive 


and returning it to its jar 


as the writer Philip K. Dick suggests, 


"Things Are Not Always As They Seem"
