A SAMPLE POEM

French Girls
with tattered
jeans and
broken smiles,
a
tit for tat
good natured
willow
flaxen dew
drops
they jingle
when they
jangle
it's
the revolution
you

       can see it
in
the way their
ass
sways
and their
golden
minds go a bit
humm drumm
then pop
and their weary
eyes look at
you with the

       hint
of a smile
mellowed
thru the
centuries
before
bouncing off
in every
direction.

they are a little
more solid even
in the exquisite
nakedness
of their
existence
and they
glory in their
reality
and read
music and
dance poetry
on the
sidewalks
and in the

       lavatories
of bombed out
buildings
and the
Germans
didn't see it
even with the
sky

       looming
        
overhead.

we take their
words
and cup them in
our hands and
we take
their lips and
crush them to
our
selves and
dream the

       dreams
and think of
sands
and faraway
places
and wish for
death
and pray they
see

       IT
soon.
