Nebraska

April doesnt hurt here

Like it does in New England

The ground

Vast and brown

Surrounds dry towns

Located in the dust

Of the coming locust

Live for survival, not for "kicks"

Be a bangtail describer,

like of shrouded traveler

in Textile tenement & the birds fighting in yr ears-like Burroughs exact to describe & gettin $

The Angry Hunger

(hunger is anger)

  who fears the

  hungry feareth

  the angry)

And so I came home

To Golden far away

Twas on the horizon

Every blessed day

As we rolled And we rolled

From Donner tragic Pass

Thru April in Nevada And out Salt City Way Into the dry Nebraskas And sad Wyomings Where young girls And pretty lover boys

With Mickey Mantle eyes

Wander under moons

Sawing in lost cradle

And Judge O Fasterc

Passes whiggling by To ask of young love: ,,Was it the same wind Of April Plains eve that ruffled the dress

Of my lost love

Louanna

In the Western

Far off night

     Lost as the whistle

     Of the passing Train

     Everywhere West

     Roams moaning

  The deep basso

- Vom! Vom!

- Was it the same love

Notified my bones As mortify yrs now

Children of the soft

Wyoming April night?

  Couldna been!

  But was! But was!"

And on the prairie

The wildflower blows

In the night For bees & birds And sleeping hidden Animals of life.

The Chicago

Spitters in the spotty street

Cheap beans, loop, Girls made eyes at me And I had 35 Cents in my jeans -

Then Toledo

Springtime starry

Lover night Of hot rod boys And cool girls A wandering

A wandering

In search of April pain A plash of rain

Will not dispel This fumigatin hell Of lover lane This park of roses Blue as bees

In former airy poses

In aerial O Way hoses

No tamarand And figancine Can the musterand Be less kind

     Sol -

     Sol -

Bring forth yr Ah Sunflower - Ah me Montana

Phosphorescent Rose

And bridge in

     fairly land

I'd understand it all -
