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
