Nen Patrick of Montana The bullits they wrinkled his side like your waffle In our modern age away from Asia hit six times with totle love of it on the right of his side Stealing iron is a big thing in America It costs nothing to through away But it was fun to keep your bay With a 45 with people hired to keep it "It's all gone to the junk yard Sam" Crossing the fence was a good solid remark But with back pockets as a pick up truck it can be to bad when ther're bing'in Ya! might have been an American mountain reply; that has nothing to do with ghosts. ___and the mud-winged and heavy soul, freed of its flesh, The Odyssey A Modern Sequel Nikos Kazantzakis : '58 with a 39' Pittsburgh Bridges

GPT

A poem about bullets, stolen iron, hired guards and a junkyard ends by denying any connection to ghosts. A separate quotation names the heavy soul freed of flesh and cites Kazantzakis.

The body joins wounded flesh to scrap metal and American mountain speech. The detached literary quotation shifts from physical damage to a soul released from its body; the handwritten Pittsburgh Bridges note adds another industrial reference.

Under the handwritten title 'Nen Patrick of Montana', typed lines say 'The bullits they wrinkled his side like your waffle' and move to stolen iron, a guard 'With a 45' and the cry 'It's all gone to the junk yard Sam', ending on a reply 'that has nothing to do with ghosts.' Below, a typed quotation about 'the mud-winged and heavy soul, freed of its flesh' is credited to Kazantzakis, and a circled handwritten note ends with 'Pittsburgh Bridges'.

The typed poem runs on plain, unpunctuated American talk, mixing wounds, scrap metal and fences into one tough anecdote. Setting the Kazantzakis line and the circled industrial note beneath it lets the page shift from a damaged body to a soul released from flesh without explaining the link.
