Take time today to
Remember dead heroes
And stoned ladies on stage
Take some more for dead heroines
The twice forgotten
Take twice as much time as that
And consider what a hero is to you
A trombone up my ass
A trombone up my ass
A little Philip Glass
And a trombone up my ass
Less attention to the speach speakers
The game gamers
The pay for prayers.
Converse with the dead.
Dead people make great listeners
You can learn a lot from a dead person.
Who painted these walls
Who put all these dents in the ball
Hunters and gatherers.
What is this stage for
It’s like
The audience forgot
How to be an audience
Sometimes in our attempts
To move boulders
We blow dust
In people’s eyes
Keeping the air clean and clear
Is all you need to see
The sculpture
Inside the enormous rock
In front of you
