Beats














Yeah,
and the beats, man,
the groove was good.

All the hobo poets
who swore
the freak allegiance
have gone, man.

There's not a rhyme
nor even reason
where they once stood.

It was the suits, man,
who crapped the burnout,
downed us with buy-in,
and fried the cells that drove
the long-hair brotherhood.

I posted this on Facebook on 24th February 2010.

Where did it come from? I don’t know. Maybe someone mentioned the name. Maybe I once thought I looked like Allen Ginsberg.

Keep on taking the meds… now that they’re no longer recreational…


That's me on the spot, cigarette alight, nearly a decade too late.
