One Song At a Time

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Where are we going, Walt Whitman? The doors close in an hour. Which way does your beard point tonight?
(I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the
supermarket and feel absurd.)
Will we walk all night through solitary streets? The
trees add shade to shade, lights out in the houses, we'll both be lonely.
- "A Supermarket in California" by Allen Ginsberg


Song:

Elephant Gun
by Beirut

Art by Eugene Atget

It took me like 20 times to make any sense of that poem.

Well, it's only part of it, so that might be why.
