	"If You Can’t See Me, I Can’t See You" (sign at the back of a truck) Outside the picture, if you can’t see me, I can’t see you Under a pile of words, if you can’t see me, I can’t see you Behind a big truck, if you can’t see me, I can’t see you That is, since I drive in front of you If you want to pass but can’t see me in My driver’s seat, or in my front rear mirror, you are In my blind spot, so don’t follow me too closely, don’t Try to pass me, but stay calm behind my shadow Otherwise you would kiss my big ass in a bloody way And so, when you communicate Wait and make sure you see the right person first – That’s for your own safety, pal When you are dating, drawing, cursing, playing or fighting It’s best to have the real person in view: If she can’t kiss you, you can’t kiss her If you can’t put up with me, I can’t put up with you If fame can’t grow out of you, you can’t grow out of fame If money can’t find you, you can’t find money If the politician can’t trust you really, you really can’t trust the politician Look, what I point out is, if you can’t see me, I can’t see you Whether it is in a book, at a cemetery, on a plane, or behind a truck Drive safe, you asshole W. E. N. S: A Rotating Poem West: not unlike a giddy goat wandering among the ruins of a long lost civilization you keep searching in the central park a way out of the tall weeds as nature gulps down new york with a mummy blue East: in her beehive-like room so small that a yawning stretch would readily awaken the whole apartment building she draws a picture on the wall of a tremendous tree that keeps growing until it shoots up from the cemented roof North: after the storm all dust hung up in the crowded air with his human face frozen into a dot of dust and a rising speckle of dust melted into his face to avoid this cold climate of his antarctic dream he relocated his naked soul at the dawn of summer South: like a raindrop on a small lotus leaf unable to find the spot to settle itself down in an early autumn shower my little canoe drifts around near the horizon beyond the bare bay
