I think the 'Following' signifies his cult following. And the man who called from Denver was a fan. |

I found the entire text at another site. Since it includes some profanity I suppose some sites do not wish to include it.
I think it's a good poem, and certainly not conventional. I was amused by the frankness of it. I would not say it is my favorite piece at all, but it is interesting and a shout from a very 'free' spirit at the time. |

The title, A Following, may be the key to this one. I have received such calls at night, sometimes wrong numbers and sometimes a person who definitiely was drinking. Someone lonely, looking to connect with another human being, someone with a problem just wanting to talk? This poem may tell us something about are humanness. |

Perhaps these short bursts of expression are meant to juggle the contents of the mind, like Buddhist koans. The purpose being to identify the difference between 'explanation' and 'understanding.' Or, perhaps, to highlight the notion that God is not always 'in the details, ' so to speak. Sometimes God watches from the perimeter. |
