an edda for our time

dig if you will the poetic stylings of leather-hatted Dick Sutphen, from the slim volume of verse A Deep Breath of Yesterday (key blub: "Dick Sutphen communicates....and he'll touch you"):

I have all the characteristics
of a gentle vocano-
and
sometimes
I
scare
myself.

Oh, and there's more where that came from.
So don't sass me!
