So I Got Out Of There (for Hatt and Victor)

Went by the phone booth 8 pm
you didn't ring*
swore I heard a ring
wasn't ringing when I reached it
7:54, 7:57, 8:00 pm
the later two times
visible police on stretch
finally parked front of Hister's office
maybe somebody broke into
the doctors/the dentists'
So I got out of there
didn't want to be questioned
too stoned
and prone to overtruth
and they might say
they took me in
to protect me from my self-destructive self.
"He was telling "the Truth"
in the middle of the night, sarge.
you know what I mean," the lieutenant whispered:
like give drugs to all the fool who what them
give teevees give dinner
less crime less cost
uh oh less police
go to jail
can't have ideas like less police
sorry I meant
less of a caseload
for our present officers
jolly good fellows loves kids
free s;hoes / less murder
shoes - $20
murder - $50,000 plus upkeep(18-35, 000 per year)  (for life?)
$50,00 keeps ten alive1 year maybe twenty
free beer free teevee free bus
free phone - the function of government to guarantee
the greater good of all--why have one otherwise? Sex Education,
if a government does not aid and abet the free dissemination
of healthy sex information, it aids and abets rape, it aids and abets
contagion, aids and abets the underground
drugs and sex monopoly, keep the police and pimps game in business.
Close the banks, you'll shut down the drug trade overnite,
the government may call it the mafia,
but the people know it's the banks, whatever mafia
works for the bank just like you do you and the pope
9:28 maybe I'll go past the phone booth at 10 pm
what's free speech without free phone speech
free phone less matri-patri-cide
less harassment of youth
phone companies shoujld be taxed
9:35 Dec 19, 1986 CITR
phone companies should be taxed
100% of profits tax to run teen centers
with phones and videos and pool tables
maybe intimacy cubicles maybe hot and cold liquids
snacks -- all free -- all less expensive than
the simplest crown PROSEcution and multiply that
by thousands in a city
not to mention the costly newsprint
like it might take Meares Island
to produce the documents
and news coverage of the Haida disobedience
or the toilet paper to clean the assholes
politicians shitting less they're caught
hand in your pocket, dirtying their diapers
the truly rich owe more than anybody else
and in a frenzy
seek further debt.
they want to be richer.
they want to owe more
faster 10:18 the dog and I
walk half a mile
pass the phone booth twice
9:55 and 10:01 pm
stood there ten minutes or 6.
