Haunting

There were no words
So there was a haunting
Scrawls and smuts on
A scrap of clean paper
Reproduced as action
Instead of memory
Repetition a way of recalling
Her otherworldly form

The Surplus Which Cannot Be Explained

Borderland a zone in which she is susceptible
To transcendent experiences hallucinations lies
Evidences of supernatural energy transcendent
Nuggets the surplus which cannot be explained
Fierce feelings which empower expressions of
Suppressed sexual desire cracking consciousness
As kinetic projections stifled yearnings become
Known even when separated by great distances
In a particle state in which all things are whole

…REQUIRED READING FOR ALL WHO ARE DISTURBED BY THE SPREAD OF MORAL LAXITY IN MODERN SUBURBIA!

DEPOSITED WITH THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, 1964.
