leonard & me
(high school confidential / circa 1973)
(..it’s about those eyebrows..!)
__
so who did you think you were gonna be? as you lay
on your unmade purple bed writing prose oh so purple
+juvenalia
Janis told Leonard (pre giving him head on an unmade bed)
she loved good looking men but would make an exception
for him
Leonard serenaded me +my jazzloving family in the TO burbs
endlessly seems he wanted to be there with Suzanne a lady on
a river with tea & oranges from China
specifically because she was half-crazy
its kind of like the train that takes whores & gamblers he made
death sound ok too +love +lust the wretched beast untameable
until too late i was thought of as a ladie’s man but was alone 10,00 nights
we learned these lessons in the burbs early on lust a deadly sin the Reap
a cousin also from Montreal ! he pointed a bony finger at each of us children
you’re gonna die you’re gonna die +you’re gonna die
you’re ALL gonna die
(RIP J Pecker) who outlived
his entire generation
besides visitations from death our visitors were beautiful losers lusty
buttonmen kings tailors whores hermaphrodites +horse traders
et al.
it was a tempestuous household where folk+rock vied with delta blues
+uptown jazzzz where mother+father were known to heave suitcases at
one another +the Count endlessly played April In Paris

them were the days
..of miracles+wonder..
