New York, March rs.
l was up late last night.
Waiting for a sick flush
And they had lechee huts
And their Chinese food
Off a midnight lunch
And I woke up twice
Barking like a dog
And just a while ago
The door bell rang
And 1 opened it
And there was a funny
Looking little guy
With a goatee.
And convex glasses.
And a bulging forehead.
And he looked like
He might be a chemist.
Or the guy who
Invented geometry.
Or calculus,
And he had a little grip
And I asked him in,
And found out
He was a piano tuner
And before 1 could stop him
He took the lid off
And began taking out
Strings and cigar stubs
And old tooth brushes
And razor blades.
And I got interested
Because 1 have never
E Been able to find
The upper section
or my striped pajamas.
But they weren't there.
So I went away
Into another room
And in a few minutes
He began to hit
One note at a time
And it sounded
Like a lone wolf
Calling the pack.
And I got nervous
And went upstairs
And it was worse there,
So I went down
In the basement =
And then on the roof
And he wouldn't quit.
And the more he twanged
The worse it sounded
And I can't Write
Any more today.

that is agitating the people is, shall
we supersede II by a liberal system
one that is controlled by law and
