today's poem - "Fade Away"

 

Fade Away

Open mic at Crown and Anchor – again

-a beat down bar suggesting a Sumerian Sunset

whilst I prefer a clean, sunlit festival stage

that squires up in memory as I get lost

massacring class like a cosmic axe-man

 

But all the guitar tricks I thieved are clichs:   

The knuckleheads pshaw and shrug at my riffs

ignore the excruciating soul faces I make

 

My 20,000 subscribers slowly dwindled to 12

-the Rocky Coleman Show’s not what it used to be

You boring son of a bitch you’re weightless now

festering in air like wisps of ammonia and yeast

 

So I mutter incoherently over Mu Gu Gai Pan

& muse upon better, salty day phantoms of now
