Seniority Blues
Times they are so much a-changing
as Dylan proposed Bob and not Dylan
who was a genius but also a drunkard
When black seems white
and white appears black
grey silver hair is reaching
its tune and completion
Tim is told he needs a new quartet
Time Place Reason and Feeling
And yet he sings the Seniority Blues
Age is surely no achievement
and youth no transgression
but the pendulum has swung
dialectics require constant change
Surely he needs to hand over the baton
Baton Rouge? Baton Royal Marine? Beating retreat?
Why should he go with the proverbial times
when the times refuse to go with him?
Tim prefers intuition over merely following the crowd
03rd October2018
Reference to:
Bob Dylan 'The times they are a-changing'.
Dylan Thomas, the Welsh writer.
Baton Rouge in Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
('Me and Bobby Mac Gee' written by Kris Kristofferson
but more convincingly sung by Janis Joplin).
