      murders” … “I’m chasing a story”

I’m not going to eat meat anymore

I’m taking refuge in the Buddha Dharma Sangha

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

who how satisfying in the ocean night

   as the exit of laughing gas,

   or the thrice-real moment of hashish

  or the “ordering men about, playing god,

            without drugs”

american husbands in sportshirts with clear,

      bright eyes and legs spread in

         the velocipedomotor bripping

         on holiday from US Army Saigon

            streets hotels I hitched

      get polite when you’se a hiker

         “I going to take both sides”

You have no right being a Hitler repeating that

      Abhaya mudra reassurance

         Palm out flat, patting the airhide

               of earth—

   Nothing but a false Buddha afraid of

         my own annihilation, Leroi Moi—

   afraid to fail you yet terror those Men

         their tiger pictures and uniforms

            dream to see that Kerouac tiger too—

      Helikopter to— Sh, spies with telescopes

            for seeing the bullets that shoot—

Leroi I been done you wrong

I’m just an old Uncle Tom in disguise all along

               afraid of physical tanks.

      and those buzzing headphones in my skull.

   and many a butterfly committed suicide

         its wings to the motheaten flame—

Agh! I vomited in fear of the forest of ganja meats—

Eternal Death silliness—Cowards die many times

Not even afraid to be a Coward—Ashamed only by

      metal voices declaring war on Darkness

I seen plenty corpses but not them living wound-flowers

         healing split open “mouths” as you see the

         War Correspondent who wanted to Bash China

Even I wound up with his Titoist anxieties

Whatever happened to Jeannie Frigididia

            Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy

               radio 20 years behind Cambodia

   Sounds like love is so sweet springtime

all in my head going down worried

            about changing 100 Reales of meat

Whatever you think happened to

            Jeannie Frigididia?

Whatyathink happen to the Frigididy girl?

You think she’ll be in the Ille Frigididy news?

Is the Frigididy Universe gonna be awakened?

            Is Leary my laughter?

Plus ca change tonight from 6 P.M.

      wet handed by meat sex

drank tea, drank carrot-potato thin soup

      bread cheese coffee peas pies coffee

      pineapple soda

walked on the rainy. run out of ink

            market

To write a letter to President Norodom Sihanouk

      to live in the flower-jazz palace at Phnom Penh

      Kingly neutrality enter China for U.P

            from Hong Kong

      write to Eisenhower, politely inquiring

         get China off the hook

         war of races not Marxism in

Viet Nam Pres. Diem’s Queer picture

         —a spy in the chinese soup

         on the restaurant bench—I being also a

            spy for the Left Consuling

      “Geez that’s a great job yr doing fellers

            keep it up”

I wish I could fly o’er the leaves of the jungle and not

         get killed see the bamboo stakes

         piercing the foot of the beefy Marine?

      or the bodies Viet Cong piled on the tank

      Vietnamese bosses at Ap Bac battle lost whodunit?

President’s messages back and forth in French and Charming

Ike give OK retreat from pregnant belly

               of S.E. Asia,

Antichinese riots Indonesia—out of the papers—

            not seen Newsweek a week or the Times

Monsoon riding thru the forest gate faces

Creepers silence on Ta-Phrom temple halls

      narrow stone walk under sleeping trees—

         rain on Ta-Keo pyramid—perfect faces

         smiling ladies’ fiery headdresses in Thommanom

      till passing the soda stand in forest arbor

         ganja cigarette rolled in Terrasse Superieur

               rooftower by Ikon

         of Buddha touching Earth

         the burnt out incense sticks in the tipped can

               I straightened and shoes off bowed

As I rode thru the forest Hari Hindoo and Lord of Mercy
