It was the gods of chance
Brought me back here
There’s no mistaking them
They’re crippled also
**
Somewhere in the distance,
That old fashioned medicine…church bells…
**
I love you teddy bear
Though now you’re in the landfill
**
Once I wrote a folk song about how Thomas Edison ruined my life
**
The broken gods brought me here and gave me to my broken parents. And look! I’m having a perfectly broken life. But I do persist in trying to put tiny machines together.
**
In poem-village all the horses graze on sweet grass
**
They are writing poems in the next village
The people there are admiring clouds
