One day when he ws totally contained....

I could of swore
alured and a' cheated
even repeated
an aluring lie
spy
arrested
detested
protested

A bored discord of random authority
And unchallanged authority
From the days of the vaccum
Tube
Gotten
A'Long An Thinned
Grown
Resting
Standing
Running
Walking
Talking
Stalking
Balking

Or in intercourse with his
Female friends
Once a year

Just a long thin John
With his blind reticent
Horse
A' ruled a square foot
Parcel
Uncontended
Unelected
UnSelected
Not voted in
or highly
Appointed
Stamped
Sealed
or
Appealed....

Self Appointed
To say whose
Horse
House Land and Future plans
Money
Honey
or
shit filled mine
(Whose whose..?)
Owned and Registered
Place
isn't his
In 'is own name and handwriten
lonely
lazy
reticent
delegation
of His Own
"One"
an' "Undivided self"
as he sarcastically called it
In social comment on the rest of
the races places

Rock music played in is ear
"An along came John"
"Big Bad John"
As the wind played his off
keyed tunes
As he turned the lockes on the doors
of his ruled spaces
As he worried
would some rat or high tall
authority come along some day
Ruin
'is say
and send 'em back a toil
at something else less professional
some day

Though he always stayed and remained
as boss
"of the wild frontier"
with the same roof above his head
the same wooded sents and trees
'an houses an stores an offices
there the same day
he 'ad walked the grounds
he now had decided
he had
no contest
adeeded to himself in heart
an deed in
his name

An pssed his first ordinace
last year on public behavior
an unruley activity
An was honored
An respected for his wisdoms
no soul of his had afore ever
respected or honored before

An 'ad of couse changed his name
so his past and occuppied dissenters
not get a foot in the door
of his quiet little town
he left nameless
to be not on a map of the vicinity
he 'ad found out an 'ad kept secret
that these learned perception
was as secret an enveavor
with
as secret assumed and an implied meaning
as the places of
the holy grails
his nations major out houses
military defenses
prostitution rings
water'd springs
for all the high and mighty


As to have gained
a very strict confidence
and security
for his rights
intrusions
leadership illusions
at this place he 'ad settled
and secretely secreted
Alone
in this new found "deserts of life"
-as he called it "mankinds' lot and fate on
earth or wherever"

An later discovered
they gave 'em
a part of the desert too
nearby
to who
whether they knew
or not
was only a walking act
he 'ad
An' he ad just alone walked in the door
An' 'ad taken over the joint.
From the blue

'an the desert had grown life too
as 'ad everything he knew
'ad earned the same,
as soon as
he 'ad ruled

And in time he 'ad reticently
added
a name and written thought to the dictionary
he composed
of the slow and reticent way
life 'ad not only treated 'im
each day
but was of the exact way of the working of things
as far as he knew
as any never present objector
would 'have filled 'im in better too

as the same as all
who ever 'ad heard 'im
met 'im
'ad never nothing to say anew

Was the way things worked
By 'is
Newly Uncontested Lonely Rule
Rules and Measures
An' Office keeping Treasures

of
Aba Baba Baba Ba Blottoa

the town with the secret name
he gave it
with the same acquired
thin air license

Aba Baba Baba Ba Blottoa
meaning both
SHRUGGED SHOULDER
and
WHO KNOWS...?

In any combination or permuted
arrangement
in is self defined and composed dictionary ...
composition and layout of mankind and his language
....his own invented dictionary notes
He 'ad slowly put together
thoughtfully
and as 'is green
thumb planted anything as was good
each an every turned corner
an' the sun light in 'is eye
..well as the fertile shade grow behind
'im
and did prosper an' nurture
a woven maize
'is feet had traveled
'is head held haughty above
AND AS EITHER
'ad never seen or known
happy in 'is ruling
and outhouse venture
of grand interntional fame
of the whole green dozen
that he knew
his feet head
self-imposed and composed
dictionary
'ad added and multiplied to
Twelve plus
One Hundred and Forty Four
Odd
"Common Cents"

And was all he could sense and recollect of his lot on earth
Looking Back at his "one Undivided self" in the "Desert of Life"
Town
of
   Abba Babba Baba Ba Bloata
meanng
both
SHUGGED SHOULDER
and
WHO KNOWS?

written and lived one day..

One day when he was
totally contained
with a container of
ALE
