mostly i wondered about the word 'peace'
and whether it was a little play
or possibly a misspelling.

it's the attituide. is "moi" a kiss or a "moishe"??
are you in the tent when the rocket comes crashing"
do you see the weathering of dumbya's face?
are you with the insurgent masses when they aks you to
teach me about shelly
but don't parade around with a fully belly. man,
cause santa claus got a sleigh, man,
an his reindeers are high on angel dust, man,
an they flying around the world.
no he ain't a band.he's the dude, abiding, post traumatic scrooge
imbibing.
empty pockets before begging.

heyu zeus\
the best minds of their generation\now what?

i saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves thru the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix

is there a creative parallel to this?

...

you keep editing yours and me mine and see if we meet in the middle

that first poem has some dowsing truths in there.
pointing towards water. a deepening of perception
a zen koan, for sure.

It was an intentional pun, mindbum... a cheat, er cheap way to get across a double-meaning.

down and out
santa cruz sidewalks
old man with bowler hat and musical saw

gave him a free ride in my taxi.
he gave me a little book
wobblies manifesto

bowler hat tipped
smiling hello goodbye
into pacific hotel

oh the peace of the yellow moon
a peace of my heart
peacemeal
peace

Yes, one of my favourtite poems of yours Doreen.
