BITS OF SOFT ANXIETY; FOR PHILIP WHALEN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Dreamt: crossroads
Last Line: As it was in the other place where he spent most of his happy waking time


dreamt: crossroads
drove straight ahead
arrived then with some confusion beating of wings sound of great engines etc.
in a strange country where things kept falling on him and out of him
they didn't hurt but caused some anxiety nevertheless
maybe they were just cherry blossoms
maybe it was just his old difficulty of remaining in the upright position of
the higher primates
maybe it was May
as it was in the other place where he spent most of his happy waking time
