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.
