\t\t\t\twhen the music\u2018s over.
\nshut the snap on the useless travel satchel.
\nuntil the end
\ntesting speeeeeeeed
\ntesting temperament
\ni can see me in a hoary motel room pecking at this thing.
\nneeds an overhead light
\ni shall wear a miner\u2018s cap to see the keyboard
\nor i shall hold the phone just so
\nso as to light the keys
\ni am on the road tonight
\nthe road being a block away from Sorabji Central
\na subway roars overhead
\nthe road reminds me of The Band
\nand Neil Diamond
\nthe road and the stage
\nthe god damndest women you will ever see
\nto parameld both entity\u2018s pretentions about their
\nplace of work
\nrabbi robertson shoplifting balogna
\nunder his trenchcoat
\nwith the rest of The Band
\ni mean was The Band
\nsuch a big deal that i must
\nlisten to them talk about
\nshoplifting balogna
\nunder their trenchcoats
\nfrom a grocery store?
\non the road
\non the road
\nmy mother reviled willie nelson
\nand on one count i agree
\nthat \u201calways on my mind\u201c
\nscrawl of misogyny where
\nmr. nelson declaims that
\ni ignored you
\ni neglected you i treated you like piss
\ni may have abused you
\nbut iiiiiiiiii was thinkin\u2018 about ya.
\nsorriest love song, lacking
\nas it does,
\nany love.
\nbut i saw willie
\nsing that song at woodstock
\nyuppie woodstock
\ntourist woodstock
\nand the crowd fell silent
\ncontemplative
\nintellectual
\nwinds of instinct
\nblowing through their
\nfront-toothless grins as
\nwillie sang the timeless ballad.
\non the bus from
\nbethel to port authority
\ni met a man
\nwho had seen willie
\nseen willie 80 times
\nseen willie
\n80 times
\nand it made him powerful
\nthe man was powerful for he had
\nseen willie 80 times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
