Gnosticism III

First line has to make your brain race that's how Homer does it,
that's how Frank O'Hara does it, why
at such a pace
Muses
slam through the house -- there goes one (fainting) up the rungs
of your strainge BULLFIGHT, buttered
almost in a nearness
to skyblue
Thy pang -- Pollock yourself!
Just to hang on to life is why
