This is a love poem from a great Venice Beat poet, John Thomas, to his lover, another great Venice Beat poet, Philomene Long.
lyrics
Our Sunday Outing in the Mountains
On the way to Tuna Canyon
Some discussion of my driving skills
And she finally took the wheel
Neal Cassidy I am not
Gentle Jesus meek and mild
She is not
To swim in the stream
which was only three inches deep
We simply... became...very small.
At the top of the stream great brown boulders
Shouldered in around us
Purring like tigers
