Kenneth Patchen - Do the Dead Know what Time It Is?Kenneth Patchen - Do the Dead Know what Time It Is?
Work rating: Medium


        The old guy put down his beer.   Son, he said,       (and a girl came over to the table where we were:       asked us by Jack Christ to buy her a drink.)   Son, I am going to tell you something   The like of which nobody was ever told.       (and the girl said, I`ve got nothing on tonight;       how about you and me going to your place?)   I am going to tell you the story of my mother`s   Meeting with God.       (and I whispered to the girl: I don`t have a room,       but maybe...)   She walked up to where the top of the world is   And He came right up to her and said   So at last you`ve come home.       (but maybe what?       I thought I`d like to stay here and talk to you.)   My mother started to cry and God   Put His arms around her.       (about what?       Oh, just talk...we`ll find something.)   She said it was like a fog coming over her face   And light was everywhere and a soft voice saying   You can stop crying now.       (what can we talk about that will take all night?       and I said that I didn`t know.)   You can stop crying now.
