The stars in the sky this book in my hand
and a third thing vanishing in this age
where all books open to a ripped out page
where the patterns we try to understand
above us are when airplanes fly and land
these things are an angry folksinger’s rage
melodies and harmonies for a wage
in a nightclub where every dance is planned
by a man in makeup a laughing man
telling a woman to sing a love song
telling an accountant to add things right
a man in makeup with a laughing plan
drinking in the dark and swallowing long
then switching on a bright electric light.
