Ha! Git Along (A Poem)

Holy shit!
VH1
(of all things)
just now
played a video
I never knew
existed

Clampdown
by
The Clash

it was live
it was great
and
my knees haven't
shook
like this
in a long
long
time

Such glory cant
last as
they are now
showing
a Genesis
video
(that real lame one..."Illegal Alien"
a song that probably made more money
that I will ever even be able
to dream about
making)

but
now I am thinking
that
Joe Strummer
may be the coolest
mother fucker
to walk
this holy
Earth

I dedicate this beer
in my thin palm to
you
Joe...

you were
a walking
middle finger
and
for that
you have my
utmost respect
