Robert Creeley poem; & Leap Before You Look



I KNOW A MAN

As I sd to my   
friend, because I am   
always talking,—John, I 

sd, which was not his   
name, the darkness sur- 
rounds us, what 

can we do against 
it, or else, shall we & 
why not, buy a goddamn big car, 

drive, he sd, for   
christ’s sake, look   
out where yr going.
