467. THE NEW NOTE OF TERTULLIAN

THE NEW NOTE
OF TERTULLIAN

I wrote two songs before the door
even opened - one about angels and
one about bears. The man with the hair
went to the bridge to sing them.
-
'Aria cantalava' was all I heard.
It was all really loud, but it went
over well and the crowd, restless as
usual, summoned me up for more.
-
I waved them off, with robes and
a dagger held high. From this perch
probably thousands could see me.
