		(incredibly good piano music & biathlon gun)
		-----------------------------------------------------------

		the player has risen from my baldwin rosewood bench
		locking his lubridermmed hotwash-aching-skin fingers
		chicago city carpet of lights te deum est.  de lirium est.
		30 above:

		straight west -- azimuth zero
		to o'hare
		then west by northwest to kristie
		in her montana way
		ready to say:  i

		under no rightful law of any country here or anywhere
		am crazy tonight
		under no light am i incapable
		of taking good care of me or of putting myself in your care
		kristie

		under no rightful law of any country or any place
		am i so imperfect tonight
		under no music did i play leaving no key key untouched
		messing up so very unoften

		under no gun law would i not do right
		by my warm happiness of a well-trembled biathlon gun
		truly target practiced.

		i would love to own
		my very own no man is an island biathlon gun
		my own biathlon skis
		my own biathlon poles
		my own biathlon suit.

		and sure i could go out and buy a gun denied me by ill law
		but sure i don't go out and buy me a gun denied me by ill law
		because i do not need one just yet just now just so.

		but i would love a biathlon gun
		...for christmas  for hanukkah...
		...for ramadan  ...for norway  ...for sweden  ...for iraq
		...for the burned macedonian kids in that discoteque
		as a measure of precise mourning trembling
		ever ever evah evvahh ...eva
		getting preciser.

		as i do not have as yet where to shoot (wisconsin?  ohio?)
		this biathlon gun of mine
		i do not have a need
		to have one

		but i would so love one:  for...

		...i am a jolly good fellow
		...for i am a jolly good fe-ellow
		for i am a jolly good fe-eh-lllllowww
		...that nobody could deny.

		please messenger deliver to me
		_mmmmmyyyyy_ very own
		olympic-grade gun
		care of me clearly stated in simplicity 
		claramente marking on the outside of the box
		"one unloaded brand new or excellent condition
		biathlon gun"

		address: 5445 north sheridan road.  north sheridan road.
		unit 3003.  inmate in remission in fully ready and cocked
		position:  marek lugowski.

		...for he is a jolly good fellow
		that no ill in illinois can deny.
