ps/alm 23 revisited
for William Burroughs
The word is his shepherd
he shall not want
he spreads like the eagle
upon the green hill
boys of the Alhambra
in vivid sash
serve him still
your orange juice, sir
your fishing pole
accepting all
with tender grace
and besting us
with this advice
children never be ashamed
wrestle smile walk in sun
thank you, Bill
your will be done
God grant you
mind and medicine
we draw our hearts
and you within
moral vested
Gentleman
(c) 1994 Patti Smith
