Richard Brautigan Poem: A Boat


 BY RICHARD BRAUTIGAN


O beautiful
was the werewolf  
in his evil forest.  
We took him
to the carnival  
and he started  
  crying
when he saw
the Ferris wheel.  
Electric
green and red tears  
flowed down
his furry cheeks.  
He looked
like a boat

out on the dark water
