the Screamers
for kenny schooner
stagger down overgrown sidewalks of memory. giving hand & giggling. (earth angel, how i long
for you. where you been, all these years. Johnny Ace, with a hole in his head. where you gwine,
Ivory Joe? or those stupid white imitations, the Crewcuts, jive Pat Boone, stealin their songs. Shh-
Boom. Two Hearts. Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed. I walk 47 miles of barb wire. I use a cobra snake
for a neck tie. I got a bran/new house by the road side, made from rattle snake hide. O you really
really send me, baby, you got to go fo me or I ll beat yo ass. who
do you love. (weird lullabies. broken hearts. long long & lonely nights. for your
precious love, I wd have drank gasoline, & all I wanted was a little water. where I came from,
mysterious ofays of the imagi- nation. why you aren t here with me, old gang, beer
drinkers, bull shitters. where did you go?
