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

Torn apart by stormy loves gate, I float
like a phantom facedown in a well where
the cold dark water reflects vague half-built
stars
and trades all our affection, touching, sleeping
together for tribunal distance standing like
a drowned train just beyond a pile of Eskimo
skeletons.



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