do     you     see     him     in     your     dreams?

I     see     him.

he’s     the     Yabba     Yabba     Man.

 

he     has

green     gold     riding     hat     &

sh a dow y     face

&     carrots     sticking     out

of     his     ears

and     a     radish

for     a     nose

wherever     he     goes.

5.

the     moon

don’t     be     like     the     moo-oo-oo-oo-oon.

the     moon     is     vai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ain.

the     moon     is     jea-ea-ea-ea-ealous

the     moon     came     down;

saw     mommys     and      daddys

&     said     I'm     gonna     eat     you     e a t       o        E      T

                                                                                 y      u        A

                                                                                                              Y

                                                                                                                  O

                                                                                                                      U

                                                                                                                           !

&     the     moon     came     down

and     saw-us-and-said                                       A

                                                                    u     E

I'm     gonna     eat     you     eat     y                     T       O

                                                                 o                      Y           !

                                                                                                  U

but     we

just     started     crying

and     mommys     and     daddys

started     crying

and     then     the     moon

started     crying

and     went     back

to     where     it     came.

someday

we’ll     walk     on     the     moon---

it'll     be     glad     to     see     us.

Poem-for-real

“hey little girl”

I     see     you

climbing     that     ladder     of

heavens-wisdom.

I’m     bathing     in     the     light

of     your     future

joy!

in     your     white     light

I     can’t     move.

THE     IMAGE:

clear     transparency.

thunder     over     the     lake.

EL.

Baal Puissant.

Telipinu.
