Enter the chilly no man's land of about	A
Five o'clock in the morning the no color void	B
Where the waking head rubbishes out the draggled lot	C
Of sulfurous dreamscapes and obscure lunar conundrums	D
Which seemed when dreamed to mean so profoundly much	E
	-
Gets ready to face the ready made creation	F
Of chairs and bureaus and sleep twisted sheets	D
This is the kingdom of the fading apparition	F
The oracular ghost who dwindles on pin legs	D
To a knot of laundry with a classic bunch of sheets	D
	-
Upraised as a hand emblematic of farewell	G
At this joint between two worlds and two entirely	H
Incompatible modes of time the raw material	I
Of our meat and potato thoughts assumes the nimbus	D
Of ambrosial revelation And so departs	D
	-
Chair and bureau are the hieroglyphs	D
Of some godly utterance wakened heads ignore	J
So these posed sheets before they thin to nothing	K
Speak in sign language of a lost otherworld	C
A world we lose by merely waking up	L
	-
Trailing its telltale tatters only at the outermost	C
Fringe of mundane vision this ghost goes	D
Hand aloft goodbye goodbye not down	M
Into the rocky gizzard of the earth	N
But toward a region where our thick atmosphere	O
	-
Diminishes and God knows what is there	P
A point of exclamation marks that sky	Q
In ringing orange like a stellar carrot	C
Its round period displaced and green	R
Suspends beside it the first point the starting	K
	-
Point of Eden next the new moon's curve	S
Go ghost of our mother and father ghost of us	D
And ghost of our dreams' children in those sheets	D
Which signify our origin and end	C
To the cloud cuckoo land of color wheels	D
	-
And pristine alphabets and cows that moo	T
And moo as they jump over moons as new	T
As that crisp cusp toward which you voyage now	U
Hail and farewell Hello goodbye O keeper	V
Of the profane grail the dreaming skull	I
