I wrote this one just after I finished reading Bob Dylan’s Tarantula. If you’ve never read it you should give Chronicals Vol. 1 to get an idea of how Bob writes. Neither one is an easy read but at least Chronicals isn’t sureal.
So I can’t remember my reasoning behind the spacing. I guess I was trying to be William Carlos Williams or T.S. Eliot.
Just writing to say no need
to worry
things here are a-okay
Betsy finally kicked the bucket
(what a relief)
She used to get so excited about
friday night
movies
Remember Minot?
Drinks under the stars and
Daylight sleeping in your Buick?
Wish Betsy had been there.
Man I miss her toes more than anything else.
But don’t you worry about me.
i have all the rope i need for the hanging
at dawn
And i will be there soon to drink in Bismark
Is the planetarium still open late on tuesdays?
