The Sunday Poem: Early Richard Brautigan



Here's Richard Brautigan's title poem from The Galilee Hitchhiker:




The Galilee Hitchhiker, Part I

Baudelaire was
driving a Model A
across Galilee.
He picked up a
hitch-hiker named
Jesus who had
been standing among
a school of fish
feeding them
pieces of bread.
"Where are you
going?" asked
Jesus, getting
into the front
seat.
"Anywhere, anywhere
out of this world!"
shouted
Baudelaire.
"I'll go with you
as far as
Golgotha,"
said Jesus.
"I have a
concession
at the carnival
there, and
I must be
late."

Richard Brautigan




Consider your Sunday obligations fulfilled.
