Budger of history Brake of time You BombA
Toy of universe Grandest of all snatched sky I cannot hate youB
Do I hate the mischievous thunderbolt the jawbone of an assC
The bumpy club of One Million B C the mace the flail the axeD
Catapult Da Vinci tomahawk Cochise flintlock Kidd dagger RathboneE
Ah and the sad desparate gun of Verlaine Pushkin Dillinger BogartF
And hath not St Michael a burning sword St George a lance David a slingG
Bomb you are as cruel as man makes you and you're no crueller than cancerH
All Man hates you they'd rather die by car crash lightning drowningG
Falling off a roof electric chair heart attack old age old age O BombA
They'd rather die by anything but you Death's finger is free lanceI
Not up to man whether you boom or not Death has long since distributed itsJ
categorical blue I sing thee Bomb Death's extravagance Death's jubileeK
Gem of Death's supremest blue The flyer will crash his death will differH
with the climbor who'll fall to die by cobra is not to die by bad porkL
Some die by swamp some by sea and some by the bushy haired man in the nightM
O there are deaths like witches of Arc Scarey deaths like Boris KarloffN
No feeling deaths like birth death sadless deaths like old pain BoweryK
Abandoned deaths like Capital Punishment stately deaths like senatorsO
And unthinkable deaths like Harpo Marx girls on Vogue covers my ownE
I do not know just how horrible Bombdeath is I can only imagineP
Yet no other death I know has so laughable a preview I scopeQ
a city New York City streaming starkeyed subway shelterH
Scores and scores A fumble of humanity High heels bendR
Hats whelming away Youth forgetting their combsS
Ladies not knowing what to do with their shopping bagsT
Unperturbed gum machines Yet dangerous rd railU
Ritz Brothers from the Bronx caught in the A trainV
The smiling Schenley poster will always smileW
Impish death Satyr Bomb BombdeathX
Turtles exploding over IstanbulY
The jaguar's flying footZ
soon to sink in arctic snowA2
Penguins plunged against the SphinxB2
The top of the Empire stateC2
arrowed in a broccoli field in SicilyK
Eiffel shaped like a C in Magnolia GardensD2
St Sophia peeling over SudanE2
O athletic Death Sportive BombA
the temples of ancient timesF2
their grand ruin ceasedG2
Electrons Protons NeutronsH2
gathering Hersperean hairI2
walking the dolorous gulf of ArcadyG2
joining marble helmsmenE2
entering the final ampitheaterI2
with a hymnody feeling of all TroysH2
heralding cypressean torchesH2
racing plumes and bannersH2
and yet knowing Homer with a step of graceH2
Lo the visiting team of PresentG2
the home team of PastG2
Lyre and tube together joinedG2
Hark the hotdog soda olive grapeJ2
gala galaxy robed and uniformedG2
commissary O the happy standsH2
Ethereal root and cheer and booB
The billioned all time attendanceH2
The Zeusian pandemoniumK2
Hermes racing OwensH2
The Spitball of BuddhaL2
Christ striking outG2
Luther stealing thirdG2
Planeterium Death Hosannah BombA
Gush the final rose O Spring BombA
Come with thy gown of dynamite greenE2
unmenace Nature's inviolate eyeM2
Before you the wimpled PastG2
behind you the hallooing Future O BombA
Bound in the grassy clarion airI2
like the fox of the tally hoA2
thy field the universe thy hedge the geoA2
Leap Bomb bound Bomb frolic zig and zagN2
The stars a swarm of bees in thy binging bagN2
Stick angels on your jubilee feetG2
wheels of rainlight on your bunky seatG2
You are due and behold you are dueB
and the heavens are with youB
hosanna incalescent glorious liaisonE2
BOMB O havoc antiphony molten cleft BOOMO2
Bomb mark infinity a sudden furnaceH2
spread thy multitudinous encompassed SweepP2
set forth awful agendaL2
Carrion stars charnel planets carcass elementsH2
Corpse the universe tee hee finger in the mouth hopQ2
over its long long dead NorI2
From thy nimbled matted spastic eyeM2
exhaust deluges of celestial ghoulsH2
From thy appellational wombO2
spew birth gusts of of great wormsH2
Rip open your belly BombA
from your belly outflock vulturic salutationsH2
Battle forth your spangled hyena finger stumpsH2
along the brink of ParadiseH2
O Bomb O final Pied PiperI2
both sun and firefly behind your shock waltzH2
God abandoned mock nudeG2
beneath His thin false talc's apocalypseH2
He cannot hear thy flute'sH2
happy the day profanationsH2
He is spilled deaf into the Silencer's warty earI2
His Kingdom an eternity of crude waxH2
Clogged clarions untrumpet HimR2
Sealed angels unsing HimR2
A thunderless God A dead GodG2
O Bomb thy BOOM His tombO2
That I lean forward on a desk of scienceH2
an astrologer dabbling in dragon proseH2
half smart about wars bombs especially bombsH2
That I am unable to hate what is necessary to loveN
That I can't exist in a world that consentsH2
a child in a park a man dying in an electric chairI2
That I am able to laugh at all thingsH2
all that I know and do not know thus to conceal my painE2
That I say I am a poet and therefore love all manE2
knowing my words to be the acquainted prophecy of all menE2
and my unwords no less an acquaintanceshipS2
That I am manifoldG2
a man pursuing the big lies of goldG2
or a poet roaming in bright ashesH2
or that which I imagine myself to beK
a shark toothed sleep a man eater of dreamsH2
I need not then be all smart about bombsH2
Happily so for if I felt bombs were caterpillarsH2
I'd doubt not they'd become butterfliesH2
There is a hell for bombsH2
They're there I see them thereI2
They sit in bits and sing songsH2
mostly German songsH2
And two very long American songsH2
and they wish there were more songsH2
especially Russian and Chinese songsH2
and some more very long American songsH2
Poor little Bomb that'll never beK
an Eskimo song I love theeK
I want to put a lollipopQ2
in thy furcal mouthX
A wig of Goldilocks on thy baldy beanE2
and have you skip with me Hansel and GretelT2
along the Hollywoodian screenE2
O Bomb in which all lovely thingsH2
moral and physical anxiously participateG2
O fairylike plucked from theL2
grandest universe treeK
O piece of heaven which givesH2
both mountain and anthill a sunE2
I am standing before your fantastic lily doorI2
I bring you Midgardian roses Arcadian muskU2
Reputed cosmetics from the girls of heavenE2
Welcome me fear not thy opened doorI2
nor thy cold ghost's grey memoryK
nor the pimps of indefinite weatherI2
their cruel terrestial thawX
Oppenheimer is seatedG2
in the dark pocket of LightG2
Fermi is dry in Death's MozambiqueV2
Einstein his mythmouthX
a barnacled wreath on the moon squid's headG2
Let me in Bomb rise from that pregnant rat cornerI2
nor fear the raised broom nations of the worldG2
O Bomb I love youB
I want to kiss your clank eat your boomO2
You are a paean an acme of screamW2
a lyric hat of Mister ThunderI2
O resound thy tanky kneesH2
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOMO2
BOOM ye skies and BOOM ye sunsH2
BOOM BOOM ye moons ye stars BOOMO2
nights ye BOOM ye days ye BOOMO2
BOOM BOOM ye winds ye clouds ye rainsH2
go BANG ye lakes ye oceans BINGG
Barracuda BOOM and cougar BOOMO2
Ubangi BOOM orangutangG
BING BANG BONG BOOM bee bear baboonE2
ye BANG ye BONG ye BINGG
the tail the fin the wingG
Yes Yes into our midst a bomb will fallX2
Flowers will leap in joy their roots achingG
Fields will kneel proud beneath the halleluyahs of the windG2
Pinkbombs will blossom Elkbombs will perk their earsH2
Ah many a bomb that day will awe the bird a gentle lookG
Yet not enough to say a bomb will fallX2
or even contend celestial fire goes outG2
Know that the earth will madonna the BombA
that in the hearts of men to come more bombs will be bornE2
magisterial bombs wrapped in ermine all beautifulT2
and they'll sit plunk on earth's grumpy empiresH2
fierce with moustaches of goldG2
