99
hang tenderness up in your window brazenly like a curtain
to keep your thoughts from being subject to the ranks
go within yourself to enjoy the life of your tongue
inside your own physique
when you are dreaming open the door and
walk into the world
go to sleep in order to waken your dreams
let the spectrum take over be multiple
wag your mind in the metro to undo the crimes of november
stretch your legs next to the youth beside you
and for the fear laden mighty with their laws and
prohibitions and errors
offer a basket of tranquil inventions and some
gently naked fingers
this is my advice
to the generation which follows the beat and the hip and the best
to be the soft generation
