1. 
.
.
     Harp was there
     the alpha.
. 
     When we tuned in to those other channels. 
     And 
     the form of god
     was
     the joy of his discovery.
.
.
     The samizdat shall cease
     the student. 
     Demonstrators 
     shall desist from 
     their illegal 
     activities 
     protesting universal
     policy.
.
    (They take many trips in the Haight.)
.
.
     The devices, the process upon YOU. 
     but
    ..the dead seek to inhabit another world.
.
    All of this began when those of 
    you who know better
.
    (What kind of a system is it that?.. )
.
     who are old enough to know better
     let young people think that they 
     can choose the laws that they 
     will OBEY.
.  
    (lets good men, decent men...)
.
    (make the kinds of decisions
    that have led to..the deaths in..)
. 
.
    The total crowd at the dance. 
                   In excess of.
    Color sequences that gave the 
    appearance of.
   Shots of men and women 
    (on occasion)
   persons twisted 
              and gyrated in a 
                            provocative fashion.
.
    The students will exercise
    their freedom with 
    same responsibility
    (on occasion).

.
   with which they won that freedom
    (on occasion).
.

.
.
   Bear Harp was there. 
   Alpha, fist
   the foot.
   Took a bullet in his blade.
.   
   Heals body, body of time.
.
   Nausea in the plaza.
   Heli-copters swooped down. 
   James Rector slain
   (tanks roll thru Prague, Beijing.)
.
   What will it do to my
   career my children?
   And 
   what kind 
   of a system is it?
.
   (The meme 
    process upon (YOU
    was there   (the history 
.
               ( to act in 
   was there,  you spoke.
.
   The worst collection of kooks,
   they take many trips.   
   By mimeo, typewriter, fax, modem.
   An open palm in fist
.
                               Over
   The students. Self-highway, samizdat.
   And we've developed a rapport. 
.
   What kind of a system is it
   when you shd. OBEY?
.
   Alpha the crowd, and
   your highway.
   All nightlong, Harp was there.
   (Reagan at Berkeley
   (Daley in Chicago.

.
.
   Harp was there when 
   they rolled. 
   Aleph was figure of
   yud above and
   yud below.
. 
   And
   is self. 
   Publish this or 
   line is highway.
.
   Savio in Berkeley, 
   Havel in Prague. 
   He was there.
.
   Roots and knobs
   flowing.
   More focus shall desist. 
.
          Time heels, exterior bone
   of foot
   a knife the ball of foot 
   a blade.
.
   Their alpha 
   was not our alpha. 
       Their aleph not ours.
.
   A right left 
   my legs seem to frieze.
   And I ain't marching anymore.
.
   Izdat forbidden?
   Tune in to 
   those other bands.
. 
   Godform
   is
   his joyous discovery.  
.
   There was no 
   vision.
   Just series of passions.
.
   They copied books for Leningrad.
   Faxed them for Tiannenmen Square. 
   Burrowed is a mouse at Sather Gate. 
.
   They kept it in their hearts, common.
.

.
.
   Today we work 
                  we work on speed.
   Tempo heals the exterior bone and heart.
. 
   As the sacroiliac 
   and coccyx soar
   so soar lilies.
. 
   Today we flow.
   The fist strikes if 
   it isn't a love.
.
   Heals with 
   palm grope -- 
   hands held high.
.
   Mimeograph 
   carbon-restricted
   desired errata.
.
   We
   work the knot of
   purpose and work of 
   the university 
   have been materially impaired. 
   Please go.
.
   Bodies writhe
                 and gyrate 
                            in excess.
   This warm 
   spot in the 
       valve a rundle
              (xerography).
. 
   And the leg seems to 
   freeze.
   Fin, before restart
     Being the start. 
      (On occasion).
.
   To think of 
   speed is the 
   fin-flail, 
   roundel.
.
   What kind of a system is it? ..and we must
   change it and 
   control it or 
   it will destroy us
.
   Work on focus 
   of time time.  
   Without a focus 
   it fails & 
   misses target.
   Without a plan of 
   action you are bound to 
   fail.
.
   The sparfree.
   Typee Typee, 
.
     As by typewriter and mimeo, 
                                 ticktock and type, 
    Typee, 
           as by the noble savage, 
                                   Melville, Rousseau. 
.
   As by root know.
   The students
   began
   to see
   an oppressed class.
.
   Watch/closely.
   Using this fist.
   Your meaning was. 
   Fist is strike. 
   
   If it ain't one it isn't love.
   Not the light footstep.
   The print.
.
   Pasternak on 
   a blackguard sheet, text yr
   voice is verboten is 
   reproduced is a carbon of 
   yr soul. 
.
   Flows crisper 
   to flee the finflail. 
   To use the machine.
.
   The tanks move in.
   Three streams flow westward.
   Three for eyes unlearn-ed.
.
   The process is practised by you 
                               meme, fin.
.
   As by priests of Saigon
   immolate, self.
   The koan
   is a mind-flail, 
.
   Heal does not mean
   abandon 
            clever devices remain--still.
