as i was playing my ***** at a sidewalk cafe
three bums who’d monopolized a table for an hour
exchanged belligerence with a guy boarding a harley
i don’t know how it started
i was busy with my unfinished symphonies
but i felt the violence in the air
"get off the bike," said one of the mooks at the table
the biker jumped out of his seat and took off his helmet
a hollywood handsome moviestar stud
"come over here," said the seated blowhard
"oh, i’d love it if you took a swing at me"
the biker announced to the whole street
staredown; poseoff
the fools at the table didn’t rise
no thanks
the biker was winning just by standing there
bragging about how he’d love a punch in the nose
he didn’t have to approach
only wave his arms in bring-it-on jerry springer motion
then he overplayed
"my lawyer would love it if you hit me"
a roar went up from the table
"the guy rides a harley and when it’s time for a fight
he hides behind his lawyer"
it was a complicated macho standoff
an intricate defensive moment
the bums had backed down
but the biker had blown it
he climbed back on his bike
"yeah you’re real tough guys"
while the table which had stiffened in NO
taunted him with his lawyer
moral:
***** music incites violence
