Tecumseh, Saint Xavier, Cab Calloway
Is it true you're back home again?
Give a hi-de-ho, the red meat ghost
of nations & platitudes absorb you.
The finger of destruction put you
out of your mind -- XX centuries ending
and still metallic nice tits get a rise...
so stretch out and take hold, remembering:
"A true poet must be pure and devoted;
His work is another thing."
