Here ye, Here ye:

To burn with that hard gem-like flame while getting
down and dirty in the Burning Urn of Churning Funk---
That is the Dharma for me and my dog Woofer.

Both the light irony and neutral humour of the mobile home, 
the giant chese-burger on the sixteen foot billboard, AND
the fierce parodying Jimi Hendrix gave the American Anthem
(to amend the often wonderful Jean Baudrillard, who himself enjoys
a salt-beef sandwitch) 
may be a way through---right through for, as Frost R.. the Snowpoet
suggests, it is the only way out, esp. when no one here gets out
alive, even with all the cupon clippings and Exxon points we often
save.
 
Thus.

Twenty-nine bathers, yes, a few of whom are reading Mason & Dixon,
a few who are listening for ghostlier demarcations &  keener sounds 
upon the miraculous tin kazoo of the heart (play on my-estro! and tap
yer feet if you know the chorus of passing years) in various ways,
O literate grove-masters, do enjoy and join in your way what there is 
as best ye can, it is what we have.

Dharma will present itself, maybe giggling, maybe stern, or 
even Sterne. As for me, time to get in the water----

hi-diddle-eeee-do
no mo' work for me to do (tonight)

"two o'clock and all's well"

PS...(spoiler) Ed Dorn lives, kinda, in the heaven of Florida
beyond the Keys marked West
