Rhine River where
run downstream surreal touch
of wizardry the cackling howlings
of a coyote whimpering sorrow
thru ecstatic fury of Pleiades &
a few other skits written down
in toilet seat bursts of inspiration
what was once is now and we
are to just while away hours with a
board & a sheet whittling sculpture
out the rocked masses of defusion
rattling out bikers & hikers in
bars & cars & stars of patriotic
brainchild of trust thought up
by vitriolic think tanks left
in isolation tanks one night
until the mind was left over night
until the mind was left in
frosty cover sacraments earned
in ritualistic faiths questioned
all authority & conclusion
the sullen rolls of water
traveled upstream against the current
successfully running race against time.
