						Snail Poem by Peter Orlovsky 
						
						Make my grave shape of heart so like a flower be free aired        & handsome felt, Grave root pillow, tung up from grave & wigle at        blown up clowd. Ear turnes close to underlayer of green felt moss & sound        of rain dribble thru this layer        down to the roots that will tickle my ear. Hay grave, my toes need cutting so file away        in sound curve or Garbage grave, way above my head, blood will soon        trickle in my ear -        no choise but the grave, so cat & sheep are daisey        turned. Train will tug my grave, my breath hueing gentil vapor        between weel & track. So kitten string & ball, jumpe over this mound so        gently & cutely So my toe can curl & become a snail & go curiousely        on its way.
