Unholy battered old thing you were, my sunflower O my soul, I loved you then!
America will be refused eternity by her own mad son the bomb!
Which way will the sunflower turn surrounded by millions of suns? This is my rocket my personal rocket I send up my message Beyond Someone to hear me there.

All the accumulations of life, that wear us out – clocks, bodies, consciousness, shoes, breasts – begotten sons – your Communism – “Paranoia” into hospitals.
Everyman’s an angel!
You were never no locomotive, Sunflower, you were a sunflower!
How many flies buzzed round you innocent of your grime, while you cursed the heavens of the railroad and your flower soul?
I write poetry because the English word Inspiration comes from Latin Spiritus, breath, I want to breathe freely.
All green. Abandon everything else.
It’s all a dream.
