This poem and two quotes come from a notebook that Leo kept in Utah. He lived there from 1985-1987.

             MOUNTAINGOATS
           MOUNTAIN       GOATS

SKIPPING, DIPPING, DROPPING
LEAPING
Q U I C K L Y

          M O U N T A I N GO ATS
       MOUNTAIN              GOATS

MASTERS   OF   THE   VERTICAL
       WORLD   OF   ROCK ;
SCATTERING  SCATOLOGICAL  JOKES
MORE  SINCERELY  THAN  HUMANS,
CHIDING  EACH  OTHER  UP, UP.

             MOUNTAIN GOATS

THEIR  SIMPLE  WORLD OF 
     ROCK, WATER, ICE.
          I LOOK UP.

             MOUNTAIN GOATS

From Aldous Huxley's Downward Transcendence: "Beer does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man."

-Blake: "If the doors of Perception were cleansed, all would appear as it is, infinite and holy". Credit: Mountain Goats © Leo Geary 1987, 1999
