Burning In Water Drowning In Flame
Poems 1972-1973
if you think I have gone crazy
try picking a flower from the garden of your
neighbor
try picking a flower from the garden of your
neighbor
now
I had boils the size of tomatoes
all over me
they stuck a drill into me
down at the county hospital,
and
just as the sun went down
everyday
there was a man in a nearby ward
heâd start hollering for his friend Joe.
JOE! heâd holler, OH JOE! JOE! J O E!
COME GET ME, JOE!
Joe never came by.
Iâve never heard such mournful
sounds.
Joe was probably working off a
piece of ass or
attempting to solve a crossword puzzle.
Iâve always said
if you want to find out who your friends are
go to a madhouse or
jail.
and if you want to find out where love is not
be a perpetual
loser.
I was very lucky with my boils
being drilled and tortured
against the backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains
while that sun went down;
when that sun went down I knew what I would do
when I finally got that drill in my hands
like I have it
now.
the trash men
here they come
these guys
grey truck
radio playing
they are in a hurry
itâs quite exciting:
shirt open
bellies hanging out
they run out the trash bins
roll them out to the fork lift
and then the truck grinds it upward
with far too much soundâŠ
they had to fill out application forms
to get these jobs
they are paying for homes and
drive late model cars
they get drunk on Saturday night
now in the Los Angeles sunshine
they run back and forth with their trash bins
all that trash goes somewhere
and they shout to each other
then they are all up in the truck
driving west toward the sea
none of them know
that I am alive

zoo
the elephants are caked with mud and tired
and the rhinos donât move
the zebras are stupid dead stems
and the lions donât roar
the lions donât care
the vultures are overfed
the crocodiles donât move
and there was a strange type of monkey,
I forget the name,
he was on a shelf up there, this male,
he topped the female and worked one off,
finished,
fell on his back and grinned,
and I said to my girlfriend,
letâs go, at last somethingâs happened.
back at my place we talked about it.
the zoo is a very sad place, I said,
taking my clothes off.
only those 2 monkeys seemed happy, she said,
getting out of her
clothes.
did you see that look on the male monkeyâs face?
I asked.
you look just like that afterwards, she
said.
later in the mirror I saw
a strange type of monkey. and
wondered about the giraffes and the
rhinos, and the elephants, especially the
elephants.
weâll have to go to the zoo
again.
tv
I went to this place to see a movie
on tv
Alexander the Great,
and here come the armies
ta ta ta
horses, spears, knives, swords, shields,
men fallingâŠ
then turn to a roller derbyâ
hereâs a girl strangling another,
then back to Alexanderâ
a guy jumps out and assassinates Alexâs father,
Alex kills the guy, Alex is king,
back to the roller derbyâ
a man is down across the track and another man rams his head
with his skatesâ
and here come the armies
they appear to be fighting in a cave, thereâs smoke and
flame, swords,
men fallingâ
the Thunderbirds are behind,
one girl dives under another ...
