Mr. D.J. II
The D.J.'s wife
left this earth for
parts unknown to me
the night before last.
He was at the station
and on the air
at exactly 9 o'clock
this morning,
but his
show has a slightly different
feel today.
It's a tribute show,
a eulogy,
slow and romantic,
sweet and adoring.
Thank you, Sir
for answering my question.

Middle Aged And Off The Chain
You realized in an unblinding instant,
which you would not be able to retain,
that while you appear to be busy
doing other things
you work steadily
forging and hammering heavy
black iron links
welding them together
and then you
carry them from place to place
while out on your missions, errands
and diversions.
On weekends,
you sometimes take
time off to enjoy your
hobby -
filling
your pockets
with rocks.
No wonder your back
always hurts.
Glad for the space
they allowed me
on the dance floor,
I took full advantage
for an entire
minute.

OFF!
I got to see these boys play last night. Somebody slap me next time I whine about being too old for anything. Keith (the singer) is 55 and has been at the molten center of American punk rock since the '70s. They played a great high energy show last night.
