A political art let it be	A
tenderness low strings the fingers	B
touch or the width of autumn	C
climbing wider avenues among the virtue	D
and dignity of knowing what city	A
you're in who to talk to what clothes	E
even what buttons to wear I address	F
the society	A
the image of	G
common utopia	H
	-
The perversity	A
of separation isolation	I
after so many years of trying to enter their kingdoms	J
now they suffer in tears these others saxophones whining	K
through the wooden doors of their less than gracious homes	L
The poor have become our creators The black The thoroughly	A
ignorant	M
Let the combination of morality	A
and inhumanity	A
begin	N
	-
	-
Is power the enemy Destroyer	O
of dawns cool flesh of valentines among	P
the radios pauses drunks	Q
of the th century I see it	R
as any man's single history All the possible heroes	S
dead from heat exhaustion	I
at the beach	T
or hiding for years from cameras	U
only to die cheaply in the pages	U
of our daily lie	V
One hero	W
has pretensions toward literature	O
one toward the cultivation of errors arrogance	X
and constantly changing disguises as trucker boxer	O
valet barkeep in the aging taverns of memory Making love	G
to those speedy heroines of masturbation or kicking literal evil	Y
continually down filmy public stairs	Z
	-
A compromise	A2
would be silence To shut up even such risk	B2
as the proper placement	M
of verbs and nouns To freeze the spit	R
in mid air as it aims itself	C2
at some valiant intellectual's face	D2
	-
There would be someone	I
who would understand for whatever	O
fancy reason Dead lying Roi as your children	I
cane up would also rise As George Armstrong Custer	O
these years has never made	E2
a mistake	F2
