I have not felt myself expire,
when the soul leaps upward,
which is curious, for one would
apparent, you know, when
to wispy and energetic; but where
an adjective or two onto the
a point of passage, but instead
by one half my soul; then,
I should say something flippant
to have shed my old, belabored

Artist's note:
Jack Spicer (1925-1965), was an American poet who published several collections during his brief life. Trained as a linguist, Spicer was active in the San Francisco poetry scene during the 50s and 60s. Perhaps today he is most renown for his theories describing poetry as dictation from a source
outside the poet; theories he delivered in a short series of lectures in Vancouver where he portrayed poets as radio receivers. He died at San Francisco General Hospital from alcohol poisoning; his last words were, "My vocabulary did this to me."
