Take it to the
Drum back
Take it to the blink
Drum it to the take
Back
White lights
Go black
Take it to the think
Tank
Rolls across the desert
Sky
Anubis
And a Horus Eye
So only now you question why?
Take it to the home
Land
An answer
Banned
A shunning stand
Lemonade shams
Glittering
Guzzling
Fams
Drum it to the wild
Roots
Dig deep
Gone white
Downward creep
Break it to the news
Man
Pale doughy buzzard fan
Gone white
Outward seeps
There are only
Human beings
There are only
Human hands
There are no
Homelands
Just space
And bodies
Crucified eternally
Bright heat brilliant
Godlike, resonant beings
I want you to know who I am
Busy busy busy little
Bees
Spelling
Glamours
Casting
Sells
Take it to the bank, man
Because I know you’ve got it down
I know you’ve got a plan
Man
That’s swell
One two three
Fists
Bang, pound upon the glass
The mirror
The rage
The steerer
When does this bus get to
Albany?
I’ve got a date with
a drummer
man
Then westward Ho
Dakotaward
Because you know
Western, western, western
In the west you never
Know
Take it to the situation
The situation in hand
The man overhead, all steal
Steel
Steal
Beams, gussets, functions
Torque
Take it to the
Bank
Down by the riverbed
And make love instead
Please, please, please
Make love instead
Take it to the stream
The dream
The white light burnished
Cream
Hey there
Meditate
Hey now
Escape
Please please plase
It can’t wait
Won’t wait
Can’t wait
Don’t wait
Requires nowness
Perfect hereity
Hereity
Hereity
Clarity
Nowness
White lights
Overhead
And instead
The dove
The bed
Canadians
Americans
Rhythms
Forced
Pushed
Shed
Take it to the governance
Where the brilliance
is all instead
optioned
carted home
and bled
carte blanche
carte rouge
carte blanche
carte red
till the whiteblack
blackwhite Byzantium
ravages the Lover’s Head
And you find your daughter
Dead
And your brother
Mad
Take it to the modern
Take it to the soul
Take it till it blows blows blows
Whitehot blackwhite, murder mystery
Wednesday Night Fights
Gleefully battle Tuesday
And lose it all
To Friday’s gall
Me
I close my eyes
See the knowing lights
You can’t, can you?
You can’t?
Hell!
“We’ll get there later tonight.”
You can take it to the bank
Man
That’s swell
To the Bank
