The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set --
...

Heavenly cursed and heavily sinned I
No more i like to add them, so, I want to die
And I want to become a holy ghost
Whom the people would like the most.

and I am waiting
for a rebirth of wonder
and I am waiting

right across the border from the liquor store
and he stays open 24 hours a day,7 days a week

What you have heard is true. I was in his house.
His wife carried a tray of coffee and sugar. His
daughter filed her nails, his son went out for the
night. There were daily papers, pet dogs, a pistol

The old South Boston Aquarium stands
in a Sahara of snow now. Its broken windows are boarded.
The bronze weathervane cod has lost half its scales.
The airy tanks are dry.
...

Not a "window on the world"
But as we call you,
A box a tube
...

I sit and look at photographs of relations that used to be,
Some I remember from childhood, some related more distantly,
Their faces often smiling, or serious and stern,
Some looking very peaceful and gentle in their turn.
...

My friends all know that I am shy,
But the chipmunk is twice and shy and I.
He moves with flickering indecision
Like stripes across the television.

my massive buttocks slipping
like oiled parts with each light step.

September

Powerlines along my path bristled
with electric fire, scorching
...

First snow atop the hill
sends a chill to the spine
it melts down all hopes
for the morning sunshine
...

The needles of time, it is so really right,
You can’t get it back, it just passes by.
When you’re in a rush, you find it slips by,
When you’re doing nothing, it always respites.

I watched them once, at dusk, on television, run,

Nebraska, quick, glittering, past beauty, past
the importance of beauty.,
...

Caxtons are mechanical birds with many wings
and some are treasured for their markings --

The opening scene. The yellow, coal-fed fog
Uncurling over the tainted city river,
A young girl rowing and her anxious father
Scavenging for corpses. Funeral meats. The clever

The mail truck goes down the coast
Carrying a single letter.
At the end of a long pier
The bored seagull lifts a leg now and then
...

Apprehension of the unknown,
In the atmosphere of bar room tension,
Men sitting on long stools, with no time for fools,
On the counter, pint glasses full and half full,
...

He walks among the stars
A star in his own right
His spirit is restless
Adjusting to new home
...

Watching fish, seals, starfish swimming in the ocean on a television screen here at the doctor's office.

Seeing the delicate balance of an oceanic atmosphere, fluid, soothing, fascinating and flowing gently beneath the ocean's surface, unknown to us unless seeing documentaries on T.V.

In horror I saw the scenes of nine eleven on the television.

In real life I am here. Of monastery life I know nothing. I have a bedsit in Helsinki. My lover called. The storm has knocked down the garden birch on her car.
