I Know A Man



I Know a Man


by Robert Creeley


As I sd to my
friend, because I am
always talking,—John, I


sd, which was not his
name, the darkness sur-
rounds us, what


can we do against
it, or else, shall we &
why not, buy a goddamn big car,


drive, he sd, for
christ’s sake, look
out where yr going.
