ECHO TELEPHONE PIECE

Get a telephone that only echoes back your voice.
Call every day and talk about many things.

"water talk

you are water
I’m water
we’re all water in different containers
that’s why it’s so easy to meet
someday we’ll evaporate together.

and say, "that's me there, that one"
we're container minders"

Sleep in separate countries.
Sleep on separate planets.
Whisper to each other.

Imagine the clouds dripping
Dig a hole in your garden to
put them in

1963 autumn

I usually stay away from being carried away, But one day I saw a silver horse. I thought he might take me to that somewhere high, I thought he might take me to that deep blue sky.

And that's the story of a wandering soul, A story of a dreamer.
