A funeral that has nOIl101ll.:ners

a funeral where the village voice
rejoices in two Parts GURD and
OIle-fourth_part POETRY

A strange mixture in ego conscious times
where t:he american poet is still

the lc::'Mest COlmron dencad..nator on

the sca.J.eof human worth

A 1and where Gu9genhiems " FnJ] bti ghts
are the C'OSlaic dust of
the creeping ghost
of acac1ela:ic dti.vel

Sing on Sad Wa.n:ior

We have al.l at times wisheaoorse1ves
Something dtffenmt

But only a. few have walked

The i:aa~ forest

You ~ ,of

And fewer Yet have seen
