God bless Henry. He lived like a rat,with a thatch of hair on his headin the beginning.Henry was not a coward. Much.He never deserted anything; insteadhe stuck, when things like pity were thinning.

So may be Henry was a human being.Let’s investigate that.… We did; okay.He is a human. American man.That’s true. My lass is braking.My brass is aching. Come & diminish me, & map my way.

God’s Henry’s enemy. We’re in business … Why,what business must be clear.A cornering.I couldn’t feel more like it.—Mr Bones,as I look on the saffron sky,you strikes me as ornery.77 Dream Songs (1964)
