Gideon Wainwright (1/13/2006 2:08:00 PM)
For some reason they have left off possibly my favorite Brautigan poem:

I cannot answer you tonight in small portions.
Torn apart by stormy loves gate, I float
like a phantom facedown in a well where
the cold dark water reflects vague half-built

together for tribunal distance standing like
a drowned train just beyond a pile of Eskimo
skeletons.

From 'The Pill v. the Springhill Mine Disaster.'
