1st movement:

DRAGON'S TEETH

A headless man was runningdown the street

He was carrying his head

in his hands

A woman ran after him

She had his heart

in her hands

The bombs kept falling

sowing hate

And they kept running

down the streets

Not the same two peoplebut thousands of others & brothers

All running

from the bombs that kept falling

sowing pure hate

For every bomb that dropped

up sprang a thousand Bin LadensA thousand new terrorists

Like dragons teeth sown

From which soldiers sprang up

Each waving a different flag

As the smart bombs sowing hate

Kept falling and falling and falling

2:Seascape With Sun and Eagle

Freer

than most birdsan eagle flies up

over San Francisco

freer than most places

soars high up

floats and glides high up

in the still

open spaces

flown from the mountains

floated downfar over ocean

where the sunset has begun

a mirror of itself

He sails high overturning and turning

where seaplanes might turn

where warplanes might burn

He wheels about burning

in the red sun

climbs and glides

and doubles back upon himselfnow over oceannow over land

high over pinwheels stuck in sand

where a rollercoaster used to stand

3:Constantly Risking Absurdity

Constantly risking absurdity

and death

whenever he performs

above the heads

of his audiencethe poet like an acrobat

climbs on rime

to a high wire of his own making

and balancing on eyebeamsabove a sea of faces

paces his way

to the other side of the day

performing entrachats

and sleight-of-foot tricks

and other high theatricsand all without mistaking

any thing

for what it may not be

For he's the super realist

who must perforce perceive

taut truth

before the taking of each stance or step

in his supposed advance

toward that still higher perch

where Beauty stands and waits

with gravityto start her death-defying leap

And he

a little charleychaplin man

who may or may not catch

her fair eternal form

spreadeagled in the empty air.
