Shutout

throw off

those gimmicks

to the boys

let them

send it all up

in the air

there is

crouching and wailing

on stones

down here

we must freeze off

this ratmosphere

scraping out noise

across nite wires

runs - for the distant citys

there is never

a lock

in the fall

down here

as the

BIG FULL

pours away

in the shutout

in the shutout

how will we know

the GREAT DOLL

something attacked

the earth last nite

with a

kick that man habit -

eye

cut the

sleep tight boys

who dreamed

and dreamed

of a city

like the sky

there were faces

bobbing in the heat

for some rising

from her zone

moving, hitting,

holding on

for the promise

to carry us home

in the shutout

in the shutout

never a lock

in the fall

in the shutout

in the shutout

how will we know

the GREAT DOLL
