Note The image of the Captain’s Cap with streamers appeared along with the poem and indicates what could be assembled and worn when the Captain appears. Or, the object could simply be visible next to the reader/performer. As with most of my writing, the page is something like a score for reading so the farther from the left margin the higher the pitch of the speaking voice. This is a great help if I spontaneously read a poem and haven’t had time to look over it beforehand . . . Captain Saucer (& the Space Fuck) was written in September of 1975. Drawings are from Notebooks. larry goodell, placitas, new mexico
