HAT SHAPED HAT
in walked a man
in the shape of a man
holding a hat-shaped hat
he held up two fingers
and said "how many fingers?"
and i said, "peace man, that's where its at"
i said you are what you do in order to
prevent becoming what you're busy not doing
and if you do do it truely
then you arrive at it newly
and in the end you are absolved
and the problem of heaven is solved

and the man broke into a smile
like he was breaking into a song
and he was broken and smiling
and i was singing along
and we agreed completly agreetly about most things
til the sun set sweetly
like it does in those paintings
the ones they hang in the hotels rooms
the ones they bolt to the walls
as if anyone would want to steal them at all
and we talked like children without breathing
until i stopped this lady as she was leaving
and i said, "excuse me,
but do you know what time it would be if we were on mars?"
and she held up her hand
like a crossing gaurd stopping the cars
and she said,
"five in the morning"

in walked a man

holding a hat-shaped hat
