'MANTA REY'

Manta Rey A Black and White
hand groped in blue light
under the moon Scratched
A Fingernail
tipped off full man to one side
of HEAVENS Black top hat
God smiled, his Black and White Wings
wet with tears of Peace Perfumed
with Lifes PERFECTION

Bleeding golden ladder clacked night black lobsters
with one white sun charged shell someone sparkled
with tiny salt clusters popping with the deep pressures of space
many reached the emery ocean'n'glowed on its bottom
gripped with sand won pincetures for their life's
place spent loose against tide ripples
returned up the ladder to top light's return
next night

Those little golden birdies, look at them
The mystic Egypt tozzle dangling down
Old sleeper man; Ssssh! Don't wake him.
Up wand hand broom star was uh Obie man
Revered throughout the Boneknob Land
His magic black purse slit open let go flocks of them
Sssh! Sookie Singabus!
Snorred like a red merry-go-round horse
An acid gold bar swirled up and down, up and down
In back of the Singabus
And the pantaloon duck white goose-necked quacked:
	WEBCOR! WEBCOR!
