BROKEN HEARTS
ALL THE GOOD GIRLS ARE AT HOME WITH BROKEN HEARTS
First he was dead then he was clinging but no one could ever say
he was good looking Heroin thin long of face Great white hair a la
Johnny + Edgar Winter But his nasal drawl +poetic mainlining made
you think: I’ll take him home We’ll raise a couple of stringy white haired
kids Move to Malibu where Thomas Earl Petty died Yesterday
Massive coronary 66 Free falling on life support until 8:40 pm Add him
to the list: Lou David Prince Greg Walter As Pete Townsend once said:
All my friends are dead And who has not been touched by the mass exodus?
Which one of us not held their breath over biopsies +CT’s Well it’s either
cancer or it’s nothing Stress boiling blood Breakdown cannot be far away
60 something refugees kicked around by marriages gout +dreams abandoned ?
But still here +Tom there Meeting up with George et al. A long cold lonely journey
To a place where the inverted sun casts shadows over resurrected rockers Entering
that final hall of fame While back on earth guitars weep +madmen with guns enact
carnage Concerts now mass graves in the war that has: No borders No meaning
No jingo
