His meanor was a suprise to the wise

who in effect saw everything

unwise a wisdom could produce

and they all nodded and shook their heads

  "my opinion

    personally speaking

    is that he ain't no coincidence

    be both

   cause and effect

   and  be good and wise also

   from what I saw

less everyone around here the same as

stupid walking and seeing as he

and also all the law breakers

must of made their love

with his fathers mother

for aint no good either

 for  a common assesment

or intellectual investment

  just given away

   to the peculiar tilts of your land.

Your carpenters too

 aint even a part of a degree off

  the absolute balance a scientist could find

   at the center off the earth.

A very pretty picture altogether

  the wayard wind had done upon us all

  as I between these places

  am left a meaningless void

   where once at least the grass alone was fertile

   less my  ownsteps and prints

   had aligned with

   the sunwhere it rose and set

And I had not chose this encouter

 I kept the counter only

  on the corner

   in my town

   not the same place as the counter on the corner

 I see

  in all your stupidly appearing places

 and mixed bag of similiarly

 acting races

   that logic alone

   bears only logical witness

  one might replace easily

  with a thoughtless

straight edge for building

and cutting timber

  that your lives I had not noticed do not show the same

as I know

and must be the angle reflects the sun

hides

a truth

the same place

where most places I look

always bears a truth bearing lies. 

Your jail aint any hefty place either

and the keeper

aint less or more the wiser

taken no notice but

my name

and crime

should not even my words reveal me

but only my crime

 is not of being a visiting stranger

but a seeker

whose eyes in this

cursed and damned place 

always reflect back upon himself.
