white foam to the rock where I sang Harekrishna
sand garden drying, kelp
standing head upward in sunlight.
Dinosaur hard, scabrous
overgrown with seaweed tendrils,
Professors of rock …
Where’s Stravinsky? Theda Bara? Chaplin? Harpo Marx?
Where’s Laurel and his Hardy?
Laughing phantoms
going to the grave—
Last time this town I saw them in movies
Ending The Road to Utopia‘O Carib Isle!’
Laurel aged & white-haired Hardy
Hydrogen Comic smoke billowing
up from their Kingdom—
Grauman’s Chinese Theater’s drab sidewalk front’s
concrete footprints, stood there
stupid, anal, exciting
upside down, Crosseyed moviestar’d
I craned my neck at Myrna Loy & Shirley Temple shoe-marks—
Raccoon crouched at road-edge, praying—
Carlights pass—
Merry Christmas to Mr. & Mrs.
Chiang Kai Shek
Merry Christmas to President Johnson & pray for Health
Merry Christmas to MacNamara, State Secretary Rusk,
Khrushchev hid in his apartment house,
to Kosygin’s name, to Ho Chi Minh grown old,
Merry Christmas to rosycheeked Mao Tze Tung
Happy New Year Chou En Lai & Laurel and Hardy
Merry Christmas to the Pope
& to the Dalai Lama Rebbe Lubovitcher
to the highest Priests of Benin,
to the Chiefs of the Faery Churches—
Merry Christmas to the Four Shankaracharyas,
to all Naga Sadhus, Bauls & Chanting Dervishes from Egypt to
Malaya—
Black Sign Los Angeles 140 Miles
stifling car-heat—
Music on the tacky radio,
senseless, senseless coughs of emotion—
The Ally Cease-Fire Will Not Be Extended
“……. on a densely populated area”
“… —Peking will never join the United Nations as long
as it remains under what it termed American Domination.”
MOBILIZE THE NATIONAL GUARD, sd Senator Anderson
IY Mental Rejectees will be reexamined
for service in Vietnam.
Bradley high on acid
drawing pictures on Army Forms?
Peter classified Psycho telling his Sergeant
“An Army is an Army against Love.”
Xmas day work stack of papers on the President’s desk
a foot high!
he has to finish them tonight!
this determined NBC News entering Lompoc, famed of
W. C. Fields
who proved that Everyman’s a
natural bullshit artist:
“spends about 75% of his time on Foreign Matters and is,
uh, very involved …”
“and all letters are answered.”
WHAT no Xmas message from the
Texas White House?
The President must be very down—
He’s maintaining his communications networks
circling the Planet.
Mambo canned music mush
Ventura radio Xmas sound
Commercial announcements,
Few minutes of live speech, little joy or thanksgiving,
no voice from Himalayas
Good Cheer Happy Kalpa
for Dominica Vietnam Congo China India America
Tho England rang with the Beatles!
“healing all that was oppressed with the Devil.”
& at Santa Barbara exit
the Preacher hollered in tongues
YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN IN HEAVEN
passing 38th Parallel
Lodge spoke from Saigon “We are morally right,
we are Morally Right,
serving the cause of freedom forever giving these people
an opportunity … almost like thinking”—
He’s broadcasting serious-voice on Xmas Eve to America
Entering Los Angeles space age
three stations simultaneous radio—
Cut-Up Sounds that fill Aether,
voices back of the brain—
The voice of Lodge, all well, Moral—
voice of a poor poverty worker,
“Well they dont know anybody dont
know anything about the poor all
the money’s going to the politicians
