Go Back Home

Stranded in New York
A freighter full of yo-yos
No up/no down town

Does anybody
Robert Plant mused to the crowd
Remember laughter

Played drums for Sluggo,
At the Newport Jockey Club.
With Dead Kennedys.
The dead can "at ease,"
For their struggles are over.
And they rue nothing.

I took his guitar,
And then gave him a new one,
Plus three-score sawbucks.

And here is wisdom,
He that hath understanding
Counts the beasts number.
