5519. WHAT DOES IT PROFIT?

WHAT DOES IT PROFIT
(amanda graves, pray for everone else 
but don't pray for me)
No more talk; silence is the only option now.
The man in the far-side seat has placed his
antique into the heap  -  '49 Merc, or something
low and fat like that. No one wants it anymore.
The cowboy goons are gone, Marlon Brando is 
dead, and the fast guy what's his name James
Dean is cut in two behind his wheel. Sal Mineo
died by the knife, while Ernest Hemingway just
got tired of it all. And why not? What good, 
after all, is life?
-
If I ever had to give a eulogy for someone important 
or wise, I'd stand straight up, look out, and say  - 
 'it's not like that at all, no it's not like that at all.'
