Listen While You Can If You Want

never listened to Newton
gravity doesn't keep me
clinging to this stone
made of three quarters water

never listenend to Einstein
ate peyote
traveled at the speed
of light & got older

never listened to Columbus
the world is flat

never listened to Che
revolucion does not
begin with love

never listened to Lennon
peace never had a chance
unhappiness is a warm gun

never listened to Buddha, Confucius
Sophocles, Jesus, Ixtlilxochitl
Whitman, Neruda, or Bukowski

never listened to anybody
now i can't hear.

Abbey

Under stars in Tijeras Canyon,
I applaud you. Campfire smoke
curls up into pine branches,
your avalanche words overwhelm.

Not craving immortality, only understanding.
You stand on wisdom mountain.
Kicking stones onto fools,
explaining the tenable.

White collar politicians kiss babies,
never merging with your world.
Proliferating on their own excrement,
maggots of greed on a carcass.

There will be no room,
to breathe or stand upright,
in the nightmare poisonous sewage.
We will gaze at the sun,
through filthy skies.

Desert nomad of knowledge,
amigo, con dios ala chingada!
