John and his insecurity             his kindness             including us all             ‘isn’t he a bit like you and me?’             lurching around in the dusk             grown restless             all he needs all he seeks all he wants             is all that he writes for             is all that he sings desperately about             with crying eyes             beneath a bloated neck             and a ragged sprawl of hair the girl the woman the ocean child with the fire off the reef seashell eyes                     windy smile                         holds me how can I live without knowing that somewhere in the world John Lennon is alive? knowledge that flooded incessant days with magic a relationship triggered by the simple word ‘yes’ something positive an upsurge for once in a belonely time buried ‘neath concrete in Central Park while I get the feeling elsewhere a smile a dance a quietly strummed guitar a girl a circle drawn
