if they found out I'm a jesus freak
I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.
to swim around...
********
And moved
always
to the corner
always waited
for the bus.
The place I stand
lies on the furthest avenue
down which it has to come.
And will there be room?
Around my life
an animal paces
alternate
in the shadows of leaves,
a beast whose skin
seems all mouths.
West up the street
the squat civilian bus
passes some cars,
threads close.
The sun sets
inside it,
the whole vehicle
filled with light.
The creature's circle
closes in,
the corner where I wait
gets smaller,
the gutter
deepens with water,
all the fish of my life
swim by.
A woman
life
lifts from the shallows
and egg to me
bright in her small wet hand-
"You dropped this
long ago,
you thought it was a dream
or worthless creed
but look,
I rise to you
to restore."
-An egg
to pay my fare?
This is not my coin.
I go too far
for this liberty.
Time is my enemy.
I had spoken to an empty road
across which now I see
it is a fox
waiting
part way up the mountain.
"All the other animals
had me in mind,
believe none of them,
go free,
drop the egg
& come with me."
I cupped my hand to my mouth
to hear her better.
She moved up
always looking back.
I crossed no road
& climbed no fence,
I followed,
I have always followed.
The whole city
twanged
in the heart of my head
faded in the fact of the mountain
The eyes she looked
back at me
knew all the words
I was like to say.
"Time?" she said,
"the wasted hours
become your only song."

I really like Jesus Freaks, especially the lines:
"Thats how my day has been so far
got any bright ideas
follower in a car?"
