Blandly motherA
takes him strollingB
by railroad and by riverA
he's the son of the abscondedC
hot rod angelD
and he imagines carsE
and rides them in his dreamsF
-
so lonely growing up amongG
the imaginary automobilesH
and dead souls of TarrytownI
-
to createJ
out of his own imaginationK
the beauty of his wildL
forebears a mythologyM
he cannot inheritN
-
Will he later hallucinateJ
his gods WakingB
among mysteries withO
an insane gleamP
of recollectionK
-
The recognitionK
something so rareQ
in his soulR
met only in dreamsF
nostalgiasF
of another lifeS
-
A question of the soulR
And the injuredT
losing their injuryM
in their innocenceF
a cock a crossF
an excellence of loveU
-
And the father grievesF
in flophouseF
complexities of memoryM
a thousand milesF
away unknowingB
of the unexpectedV
youthful strangerA
bumming toward his doorW
