The Great Waters

by Grandpa

I have always lived near the great waters. When the Great Cities collide I am near the Great Waters. When I fly into the gambling world at the end of time I am near the Great Waters.

But on my way the Waters I must have seen the World. The World told me who to love, what to read and who to fear;

A crow sitting upon a yellow streetlamp,

A pornographic novel with red inked passages,

My six families sitting under the cartoon stairs in the center of the room looking out my melting bay window.

Married in a trailer, walking down an eternal hallway.

I rode out of the Land to the Waters. I press myself on the carhood and look at the Waters.

I can fly I cannot touch I cannot climb
