Computer Magic, Finding Out About Fish

Oh, Marcia,
I want your long blonde beauty
to be taught in high school,
so kids will learn that God
lives like music in the skin
and sounds like a sunshine harpsichord.
I want high school report cards to look like this:

Playing with Gentle Glass Things
A

Computer Magic
A

Writing Letters to Those You Love
A

Finding out about Fish
A

Marcia's Long Blonde Beauty
A+!

Richard Brautigan, "Gee, You're so Beautiful That It's Starting to Rain," from The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster, 1968
