TELL ME UNTIL CANADA

Have you ever answered the telephone in the hall?
and been so bored you sat down
sick with anger

Have you ever socked
a koala in the vanguard
there are more men than fans
overall

Hands envisioning sky altar
"Kilroy was here"
Hand fins over all new
mad men hare Tucson ultra rat
Some are in a valley of dusty dew
some are dumb and weak
some are in hell or fanning
fuming into the fun house

Have you earned your new mask?
done your sitter
into the garden because
when you're there you're done and gored for

dew tap pardon my goiter
I take a medium over all
klanging into stardom

Them or us?
Are them helping again?
Are them kind and vague?
than sister?
Them or us?
a valley of dusty dew

Doctors hand you a vague word-
phrase you dig
hair and nuts see and symphonies
William Tell me until Canada
