Simpleton is Jose M. Weeks--
by night, a parking lot attendant
in downtown Minneapolis, also by
night an unpublished writer working
on a novel about the only thing
anyone ever seems to write a novel
about anymore, which is everything.
By day, he sleeps.

the sun slants in

The waitress brought me another drink. She t
wanted to light my hurricane lamp again. I u
wouldn't let her. "Can you see anything in a
the dark, with your sunglasses on?" she l
asked me.

"The big show is inside my head," I said. i

It was an icy day. r
we buried the cat, t
then took her box . ToasterLeavings
and set fire to it
in the back yard.
Those fleas that escaped
earth and fire
died by the cold.
William Carlos Williams

All things considered, it's a gentle and undemanding
planet, even here. Far gentler
Here than any of a dozen other places. The trouble is
always and only with what we build on top of it.
There's nobody else to blame. You can't fix it and you
can't make it go away. It does no good appealing
To some ill-invented Thunderer
Brooding above some unimaginable crag...
It's ours. Right down to the last small binge it
all depends for its existence
Only and utterly upon our sufferance.
Driving back I saw Chicago rising in its gases and I
knew again that never will the
Man be made to stand against this pitiless, unparallel
monstrocity. It
Snuffles on the beach of its Great Lake like a
blind, red, rinoceros.
It's already running us down.
you can't fix it. You can't make it go away.
I don't know what you're going to do about it,
But I know what I'm going to do about it. I'm just
going to walk away from it. Maybe
A small part of it will die if I'm not around
feeding it anymore.
Lew Welch
from "Chicago Poem"
