Proclamation
For Carlos Edmondo de Ory
I am the King of the Universe
I am the Messiah with a new dispensation
Excuse me I stepped on a nail.
A mistake
Perhaps I am not the Capitalist of Heaven.
Perhaps I'm a gate keeper snoring
beside the Pearl Columns -
No this isn't true, I really am God himself.
Not at all human. Don't associate me
w/that Crowd.
In any case you can believe every word
I say.
October 31, 1987
Gas Station, NY.
