CANTO 32 Flies dawdling

 

Flies dawdling on the sun-side of the tent.

Good to be out of the house.

As I was shutting off my VCR I thought about Ethiopia

I thought about

I feel Ethiopia

I feel for the starving

I took a turkey breast out of my freezer I baked it carefully

I feel the eyes the flies

I feel the eyes of the strawberry yogurt

It’s been running real good since I put in a new Ethiopia

I see the mother I see the mother I see

the baby big big belly

uh new development out on the south side I see some uh plush uh

my study door see the flies sucking

the eyes of the world

are upon you the eyes

of the flies are upon you

when I drove to the shopping center and when I uh shopped I

thought of the fathers holding

the bodies of their children I saw the mothers

I saw a real good classic film the other night

it was called the Magician it was Bergman the Magician

yes I Ethiopia Ethiopia Ethiopia
