What’s new with you? Would you like to see my reel? I’ve spent so much time waiving I can’t touch a hand The fruit of my labor Isn’t Warhol made The doors been shut dear Forever night for five years
I haven’t transcended And met with unfamiliar scorn Im not a critter No page of Kafka has been torn I bring my audience furniture of leisure Though I’m caged with key in hand It is rusted, but at least I am well fed
There’s no fields of juniper To hold you by the hand I never got past the hotel party Can’tcha understand A rip in my sneakers A ratchet to the land
Please don’t linger Just stay a little longer No reference in the stanza Just a drowsy man I won’t feed on you I’m a vampire in yesterday I want to speak to you in earnest But not long enough to know what to say
