Hey You
I saw you grandma,
you were buck naked
in a Buick
and I thought 'hey you’.
I saw you on a
`who's your baby-daddy' show,
you wore a pic
of the killer Ernesto Guevara
on your T -
I thought 'hey you’.
Behind old photographs
secret lives
remain radio-active
there is fall-out.
I saw you in a fishy tale
making out with hippy waves;
I thought 'hey'.
In the funeral home
a portrait of you
silver frame.
Hey, grandma!
I hear your silver laughter
see the rainbows,
the flowers.
Hear a silver song or two
as you enter the flames,
the silver flames.
'Hey you'.
