one of the greatest pleasures
of the civilized world
happens when the
electricity goes off
because of nature
because of not paying
doesn't matter
one of the greatest pleasures
ever
getting ripped and
finding songs
meaningful little ditties
that bump into each other
like total strangers
on the highway
in terribly beautiful cars
the statler brothers
doing "class of 57"
like they're bringing
potato salad to somebody's house because they died
and the goddamn flock of seagulls whispering
their version of a "space age love song"
like sad pervs in a pizza hut
destroying what's left of
their dignity
and somehow the statler men
and the seagull guys
are in the same frame
and you're feeling
such love for the universe
such love for it all
without electricity
darkness outside and inside
a candle and some
red wine
that feeling
you never get to know
until you you're shut out of
everything else
