Neurons doing the mambo sixty
thousand times a day
Shakedown
shakedown neuroplastic barn, surgical hay
hey
nonny nonny no and oh by the way I taught Shakespeare
but
that was a long-time brain chatter rain shatter
what
is all this nowhere nowhere just run and hide your head
and
you might as well be dead but no that’s not what I meant
it
is word nudity Ginsberg and Joyce on steroids
but
the licorice pizza keeps making amends
and
I am not the walrus but I know who was
oh
Carly Simon you was hot and called to say
happy
birthday as a favor in a galaxy far far away
and
how about those shrinkings and Harrison
but
not Bergeron as in Vonnegut who knew
the
inside out of life and cracked the code but
does
anyone read literary fiction in the age of man
half
a million strong with the New York State Thruway
closed
man can you dig it ladies and gentlemen
Crosby
Stills and Nash a little less bottom end
on
the guitar please it’s getting to the point
where
word salad is the entrée and of course
the
main course is Ducks Newburyport
in
the longest damn novel and I’m going for it
rain
shatter who the hell is Quigly I remember
mama
and George Goebel a photographic memory
but
not like Poppy’s playing I wonder wonder who’s
kissing
her now and how now brown feasibility study
by
the fucklehead evangelicals who say the world
is
going to end because they never looked at the sky
and
the earth ain’t flat well well St. Paul was such a drag
I
mean get laid dude and don’t let me down
the
rooftop concert was pretty maybe I’m amazed
but
I’ve seen the horse throat billy goat
on
the road less traveled oh my that one that one poem
is
spot on and burns and hurts like “wrong way Corrigan”
and
I’m pretty rain in Spain and then there’s
Molly
Bloom yes I said yes I will yes
pardon
the intrusion James but I say yes
and
you say no and Ulysses will keep sailing
after
the war because he is too restless to hang it up
and
that’s where I stand not gently into the night
and
any road will take me there amen.
