9:42 am

           They only think about themselves. I could tell them a thing or two. I could –

           if they stopped putting these     whatsits          all over the place, don’t need the things

        on my knees          don’t need them everywhere. I like a straight back. I like to be able to see     in the corners     in the      dark places      behind

                                                                               trees and feathers and bird’s eggs     he brought

messages

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder     I want to hear the music but

              there are people talking on the watching thingy

                            talking and clapping and shouting their uncouth ways.    Why

                            would anyone want to see this when there is so much

more

              the boy, the boy, the boy. The sun in his hair as he runs to the trees

there are

                            more things in heaven and earth
