Take 4:
[muttering]
MiniDisk noise
jm: it's buffering

'There once was a contestant
His hair like laughing gas

Sadly loved a girl so beautiful
She brought clouds down to the tree tops

Sad, his not knowing just up the hill,
In the swirling underbrush of Sutro forest,
She shared her finitude with winos

Unfurled her Cole Valley wings
Into slack coffee scenes; found a kind of meaning
In the arithmetic of poured excess over damp gravel.'
