Monday Evening Such-Such

To think of you

as something different

is natural 

and regarded 

by the most important

people as peopled 

with humanness.

You pound the pavement,

you bury the foam,

you shoot stars like you

want to cream the minor

chords in all major songs.

You pretend

to be the British invasion

or the boyfriend

who wins

but (long view here) you 

know how silly it is

to act like a real

blues musician.
