for Paul Blackburn
Caesar did it too
– into the snow
at night –
& Stalin
by a wall behind
the Kremlin.
Gandhi too
& Shakespeare,
pissing in a line
like sleepers.
This is the prophecy
of Valéry
& Blackburn:
we are little men.
22.iii.85
[This poem was recovered, along with numerous others, for a volume of Uncollected Poems to be published by Mark Weiss and Junction Press.]

i don't know wat any of this means, but i like it.
Mostly its about being part of it, that long line...
its enough to feel it, if only for the moment that existence allows.
Thanks for sharing...
