My Heart's Keeping a Bo Diddly Beat

"my heart's keeping a Bo Diddley beat"


looking back at
yesterday now

i've got a back 
brace like training 

bra in place 
and a lumbar 

belt round my 
waist as i 

seem 
to be 

wasting 
away 

in 
my 

old 
age 

but at the very
least i can

say i can get
out my guitar

and play
just like

yesterday
and do that 

hip 
shake 

thang
