DIED
THE DAY THE PURPLE MUSIC DIED
Riding high Eve of 59th fetal position but
today Rickie Lee’s delta disc bringing bliss
Now stuck in traffic Brother texts: Prince died
Live dammit! A crushing sadness first Lou
then David now Prince
The soundtrack to your life is dying Panic pricks
Breathe deeply Pull over? Is this more insidious
weed hangover? Is this real ? At 9:43 Prince was
alive lying prone in an elevator (!) at Paisley Park 10:07
dead
Later that night Spike Lee looks way too happy He
organized a Prince party in Brooklyn Can I please be
a narcissist for a day? Anderson Cooper: I was at a Prince
concert in a hotel room! But do look a little deeper at all
of the famewhoring gentle reader
There for all to see are: tall tales +ecstatic confessions of
touching the diminutive man’s robes Just another brick in the
self denial wall Here today Gone Don’t look for me I’m running
as fast as I can the 10,000 things mirage is getting ratty at the edges
___
Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don’t cry, he is coming
