4894. TAD MARCUS


TAD MARCUS
'Yeah, yeah, I'm the one you knew;
the kid from center stage, playing Huck
Finn in some twisted Beatles movie, running
sideways over sand and surf. I walked on water, 
until they shut off the hose. I went to New York
on an ass, and they changed the name of that play
to 'Hick Finn Enters the Big City, Gets Yapped and
Yowed.' Just like a rube, I fell flat on my face.
-
But now I'm coming back baby, entering you as fast
as a bullet on speed, splitting your skull with my fortitude
and aim, noting the last place you've never been. It's
all so simple : dynamic red lips, the place behind the
counter where the counter counts the change but all
things stay the same. Yep, all things stay the same.
