Ode To a San Francisco Head
It’s that beat
Bang!
arms around the porcelain
alter
shared by music gods
a plenty
The Smash!
drowns the sweetness
as the
Boom!
carries away the wrong
with the Shrill!
stabilizing the united
chaos
tears make their way
to reddened arms and
Sizzle!
towards the heavens
now swaying with the
Ba Ba Ba!
images appear between
tears
where truth and purity
are found
collapsing to rest
with a sweaty
Slide!
upturned by reality
breathing hard is the
Beat Beat Beat!
of paralysis
then dipped into the
icy mercy of a
Shout!
and then a muffled
trumpets prayer
only to awaken to
a deafening
Slam!
and an earth moving
Shake!
only then experience
takes hold
Sa Sa Wop!
