Four of the poems used in Paterson appear in this, and there's a lot of other gold too.
Disgruntled Man
I brush the hair located on the right side of my head,
I brush it beautifully,
thinking of you. Then
I notice that the hair on the left side
is standing slightly higher than on the
right, and my head appears to be lopsided.
I don't want it to look that way.
So I begin to brush down the left side,
grimly, with a sense of
purpose devoid of pleasure
that drips down the well wall
toward some deep, dark, and cool pool
in which only peace is reflected.
Soon my head is in balance,
but it has become a head brushed for bad reasons
and I do not like the face I see.
A man disgruntled
with the way he brushed his hair.
