God Speed
The Plow
I am the
Buddha, Buddha of Bamiyan
and I am
fully cooked,
in marinade
Afghanistan…
being
re-incarnated
fast ‘s any
man…
into Kabul
Smokey Joe
who kick the
gong…
stepped on a
land mine:
Smokey Joe
is legless now,
Cokey Joe is
fine…
legless in
Bamiyan.
I am the Buddha,
Buddha of Bamiyan
and I was
much destroying
by the
Taliban…
but that don’t
stop me,
I just go
downtown
get me an
old .44
from young dead Man;
Smokey Joe
is legless
but I got my
head
got it
together… in Bamiyan!
Now you see
me! Now I not there!
Bamiyan
boddhi sleeper
vanish into
air!
like a
hermit praying
back in his
lair;
get me my
pick-em-up truck
search high
and low
Buddha Joe
is legless now-
ain’t that
always so?
legless in
Bamiyan!
