Crash Course in Mistakes


Well--
all things turn bitter in the end

whether you choose the right or

the left way

and--

dreams are not a bad thing.


-William Carlos Williams



I didn’t want to be here
Outside of comfort
Shouting through the dizziness
Holding hands in a sign
Of goodbye
Rolex face
Marred with running glass
The sidewalk twisting away from us
Taking our hopes of communion with it

When the red pond fills fish appear
When the red pond dries fish disappear.

Everything built on the desert crumbles to dust.

Electric cable transmission wires swept down.

The lizard people came out of the rock.

The red Kangaroo people forgot their own song.

Only a man with four sticks can cross the Simpson Desert.

One rain turns red dust green with leaves.

One raindrop begins the universe.

When the raindrop dries, worlds come to their end.
-Allen Ginsberd
