Happing Everything has happened Over the bridge Every day over a bridge Going down into the cavern Ten times with a four barrel down through the cavern Across the middle of the sun A train, a bus a car a thumb Wheet and corn within the Sun Over the rainbow with a sexton Not frightened of seperate seas Deserts back to back, ONE CAPEFUL where you with the glow Mountains put in places Just for the Virgin Mary To SEE After LEAVING THE Holy, LAND But I will never have you Because you are not quilty

Happing rides bridge, cavern, sun, train, bus, thumb, deserts, and mountains into a travel vision that ends with the Holy Land, refusal, and an unguilty beloved.

The repeated crossing over bridges and down into caverns makes motion feel ritualistic, as if every route descends before it rises again. Vehicles and hitchhiking blur together with impossible images like Wheet and corn within the sun and a sexton over the rainbow, so travel becomes both literal and visionary. The handwritten additions redirect a crossed-out prohibition into ONE CAPEFUL and then intensify the ending through the Holy Land; the edge-cut lower note is omitted, leaving the final typed refusal to land on innocence rather than betrayal.
