Give me an 0 as round as the eyes
of snow monkeys sitting in hot pools
on the island of Hokaido.
E's a hungry Pacman
E's a hungry Pacman
attacking the letters in front of them
eating up all the other vowels in sight
And U's are. the twin horns of the water buffalo
balancing the red Egyptian sun between them.
A U for Isis and Osirus.
Pyramids of A's buffeted by desert sands
Pyramids of A's buffeted by desert sands
standing in memory of Custer
And A's framing the camp
as the Indians ride north to hunt.
I, the megalithic monsters of Carnac
with 900 stone teeth projecting skyward
I want W's. Double U's to hold up the moon,
the earth's axis, temples of the sun
I want W's swinging from cloud to cloud
Like monkeys in the temples of India
A place where Custer can take his last stand
Where Reagan can see his last redwood tree
Where Einstein can safely bend the universe
Where nuclear bombs can sleep for an eternity
among the bits of floating debris of deep space.
