EXHIBIT "A"
And if your life starts out
Like crap
There's no need to panic
Cuz you can hit your stride
A little farther
Down the line
I'm Exhibit A...
But if your song starts out
Like crap
Like some rap crap
That ain't got no melody
That can only find the beat
But not the beauty
Then I'm outta here
Cuz that same ol' song and dance
Won't cut it
Lessin' you're MJ resurrected
On a Sunday morning
Doin' the moonwalk
On this planet badly in need of a miracle
Or Rita Hayworth in that silky black
Excuse for a dress
Running like a watercolor in the rain
Or even Eddie Money wailin'
If I Could Walk On Water
Could use that miracle now
You betcha
Keepin' the spirit alive
And holdin' on

ReplyDeleteWhat an arresting opening stanza. I am Exhibit B, lol. Love this poem. This old world could use some inspiration, for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are still on exhibit, Sherry, which I guess is an indication that we are museum pieces--lol
DeleteI like the silky black dress running like a water colour in the rain...beautiful image and very poetic.
ReplyDeleteIt's a reference to the song "Year Of The Cat" by Al Stewart. One of my favorites.
Delete"Keepin' the spirit alive And holdin' on" I'm right there with you, wantin' to dance along.
ReplyDeleteI got ants in my pants...let's dance!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carrie.
DeleteAgree about the rap.
ReplyDeleteLet there be beauty in music to bring us alive.
Let there be miracles too! (We definitely need some.)
Anna :o]
Let there be all these things...and let there be light!
DeleteDear Timoteo, you've giving me a serious case of the giggles and riotous cackles. This is so freaking true.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm here for, Magaly! So nice to see you.
DeleteI always adore your perfectly judged slangy voice – and I like what you're saying too. I thought my favourite lines would be "Rita Hayworth in that silky black / Excuse for a dress " (broken in just the right place) but then you topped that with "Running like a watercolor in the rain".
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias...I so appreciate your comments, Rpsemary!
DeleteAbsolutely... that won't cut it !
ReplyDeleteAnd it won't slice it either :)
DeleteDance on!
ReplyDeleteWe're all here for The Dance...everybody on the floor!
Deletedissonate notes are never a good thing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I adore "Or Rita Hayworth in that silky black
Excuse for a dress
Running like a watercolor in the rain "
