- !Any man who
- d burn his draft card
- #Will also burn his bra. Those birds
- Who squawk loudest about justice
- Haven
- t got the sand to stand up
- #When the chips are down. I remember
- &One time I was mounting this new filly
- 'For the first time when the phone rang.
- Heavy breather.
- Well,
- %Says I,
- well pal, if you can breathe
- So hard, why not come by
- 'For a breathing contest. Hardest wins.
- $Then she whinnied. Wham! His handset
- Slammed back on the hook faster
- !Than jack rabbit with a greyhound
- Bearing down. That filly. Yes.
- You know, I feel about horses
- The way cowboys are supposed to
- #About women. Take Marlene Dietrich:
- #Maybe she was born a kraut, but she
- Spoke the international language
- $Like a native, if you take my drift.
- $Lots of times, when John Ford had me
- Sitting on some horse
- s back
- &Take after take, until I couldn
- t tell
- Which end hurt more and my spine
- (Would start to cave in, I

- Her in garters with a chair
- *7 Back between her knees, and mine
- Would straighten up. Look,
- m not going to lie to you, not even
- If you ask me about Santa Claus,
- 'Because somebody
- s got to tell it plain
- "And, with the stuff the newspapers
- !Serve up and people swallow, what
- #Does it matter if I tell the truth?
- ve got to think a man
- s outsides
- #Are what he
- s made of. If we had to
- Climb inside a fellow
- s head
- To know him
- like spelunkers,
- )Little lanterns on our hard hats, bumping
- &Into sweaty rock and bat shit, sitting
- )On stalagmites, echoing, flickering, lost
- !While overhead the sun dried wash
- #Hung on lines, and red leaves piled
- Underneath October oaks
- d be gophers. So we go
- With the hand we draw, and pay
- Only when the other guy has more
- 'To show. Almost Indian poker. Sometimes
- You have to spank a kid for his
- "Own good, not because you want to.
- %Principles can make a person hateful.
- &That dope who burns his flag may think

- s only saying
- to someone
- %Else
- s truth. You can
- t play the game
- !And cry about the rules. Too many
- Good men died without a sniffle,
- 0Put aside their little doubts of right or wrong,
- !Left their wives and families for
- &Some European ditch, some jungle mine,
- !Some six inches of Pacific beach.
- The sea is calm at Malibu today,
- !A low cloud sits on Catalina. Far
- To the west, waves break
- On coral shallows. Is it death
- Or sunshine that
- s the cheat?
- #A person could take now to Doomsday
- %Chewing on these questions, and never
- "Find he
- s any closer to the answer
- %Than when he started, none the wiser.
