Paul and Nick and Bob and Bill


Imagine really being there,
the rarefied Olympus air
of Kellys other kitchen chair
and helping with the gravy.
Where leaps abound and little things
are left to grow and sorrow brings
a heart to which he cobbles wings
and hurries
to her door.

And now pretend a special day
the Birthday Party came to play
and through the Cave they found the way
to leave your spine a-shiver.
And waving from your mercy seat
a red right hand, you chanced to meet
the myst’ry - every time you greet,
just burns your bridges down.

Presuming that to all be true
then hurry on, there’s work to do,
and Bob has got a message through
to meet at Maggies farm.
It’s not on highway 61
but like a rolling stone- for fun,
just cop the rain that’s hard and come;
everything’s a-changin’.

Allow yourself a final fling-
the last can be the one to bring
the humble words of Bragg to sing
of power found in union.
And with him take a mighty leap
to join the fray and ever keep
at bay the fascist feet that creep
to stand on his new England.

Onya Matt!
