about

for the great voiced poet Kenneth Patchen . . .

lyrics

Set your monkey-drive full speed ahead.
Control everything with your beehive mind.
See where you are led. Am I there now?
Is there any there there? Is there any now in now?
Control everything by steering up the hill.
Up up increase it till you’re going up backwards
Roller coaster helter skelter chaos organized by chaos
Take a whirl at the wheel in midair nowhere
your favorite place to me
Am I there yet, is there any yet in yet, get going!
Set your speed. Heed nothing but your lead.
I lead myself out of nothing into something concrete
Concrete, concrete oh my God what have I hit
I have fallen into the pit.
And at the bottom, there is autumn
And I have nothing to do.
