77 Dream Songs (1964)

Seedy Henry rose up shy in de world& shaved & swung his barbells, duded Henry upand p.a.‘d poor thousands of persons on topics of grandmoment to Henry, ah to those less & none.Wif a book of his in either handhe is stript down to move on.

—Come away, Mr Bones.

—Henry is tired of the winter,& haircuts, & squemish comfy  ruin-prone proud nationalmind,  & Spring (in the city so called).Henry likes Fall.HŽ would be prepared to l’ve in a world of F‡llfor ever, impenitent Henry.But the snows and summers grieve & dream;

thŽse fierce & airy occupations, and love,raved away so many of Herny’s yearsit is a wonder that, with in each handone of his own mad books and all,ancient fired for eyes, his head full& his heart full, he’s making ready to move on.
