15,768. HARLEQUIN GHOST

HARELQUIN GHOST

Supple waistline and nice approach. 

The family meanders with smiles;

and it's all something said about

money. That was Springsteen on TV.

Singing soul music as if it were free...

I've always felt the blues needed

the singer to be blue. 'Baby, baby,

I got dese' blues over you.'

-

So many things change, yet stay

the same. A harlequin candle with

its flickering flame; or a brush from 

the past, inscribing a name. I guess

we are all the history we never lived.

-

Fake words and false language: It's

all like a politics in the end: the ends

of time; the ends of truth; the way

the universe goes on through the

waves of rhyme and poetry, trying 

unscramble its own damned past.

-

I saw Adam and Eve at the Hootenanny.

Yes. They wanted to sing along, but had

no past from which to remember the words.
