wedding song (for Elke & Clint, their union)
I dreamt I saw al ginsberg
he was climbing down that tree you know the tree
climbing down the tree
naked as a baby
beckoning to me
billy babe says he
please pass these words
pass these words on for me:
kindness is the poem
can you finish it
what kind are you
all one of a kind
kindness provokes
kindness spills over
kindness returns plenty
kind and kinder
unkindness echoes
boomboomerangs
kindness is a few words
before kiss
in the dictionary
read slowly
if you don't get the kiss
before you finish
