No one signed up for this line up
or lined up to sign up for the line up
they line us up to sign us up anyway,

there is passion here
fruits to fashion
love
and or fear
do not abuse the gift.

I have a phonograph,
a camera and an autograph
of Joe DiMaggio
each a part of me
music
images
calligraphy
which suits me.

But I never signed up to be wined and dined up,
escorted out to be strung up, but
they strung me up anyway.
