Dream Song 34: My mother has your shotgun. One man wide

 My mother has your shotgun.
One man, wide in the mind, and tendoned like a grizzly, pried to his trigger-digit, pal.
He should not have done that, but, I guess, he didn't feel the best, Sister,—felt less and more about less than us .
.
.
? Now—tell me, my love, if you recall the dove light after dawn at the island and all— here is the story, Jack: he verbed for forty years, very enough, & shot & buckt—and, baby, there was of schist but small there (some).
Why should I tell a truth? when in the crack of the dooming & emptying news I did hold back— in the taxi too, sick— silent—it's so I broke down here, in his mind whose sire as mine one same way—I refuse, hoping the guy go home.
