Uncle History agrees that Marx
Was not deterministic
He agrees the first frost
Has little to do with God
He has an ache in his pleural cavity
Sometimes he has the urge
To count spoons
“Its a crazy world” he says
But corrects himself
For he’s known
Millions of mad people
“The world is ugly
And the people are sad”
He always loved Wallace Stevens
Of suffering he knows
It has no antecedent
Planet of the Blind
