“There is darkness on your lantern
and pumpkins in your wind.
and Oh, they clutter up your mind
with their senseless bumping
while your heart is like a sea gull
frozen into a long distance telephone

into sky fields of ordered comets
and disconnect the refrigerator telephone
that frightens your heart into standing
still.”
