@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; September 9th, 1976, Going To Freshmen's 1st Day At College. 'That Light' Speaks To You Only [XLIX]
The Poet you want to be, Starwatcher, must
explain the constellated cosmos in terms
neighborly as your backyard or dead-end street
at the west edge of your rural village, near
Verging Creek's east bank.
No prejudices must be allowed to disrupt
poems of BlueShift standing (shirtless, shoeless) on
an ancient flat rock in Verging Creek's shallows,
the current having dampened his jeans' tattered
cuffs and dark blue socks.
Write, as well, the epic poems of Friday and
Saturday nights: the drive-in theater; then
pizza and salad bar at the Pompeian;
then driving township roads for hours to talk on
the c.b.'s airwaves.
Starward-Led
