Easter/Beck
Uneasy
Offbeat
where has
the old EASTER/BECK
game gone,
and what
is the new,
just a few
licks of promise
laying back
on the foundation
of joyful
creation,
suddenly it
has disappeared,
familiar faces
comfy places
the same channel
theme songs
replays
reviews, who’s who,
even the daily
rag is skewed,

things change
shit happens
I get that,
but all at once,
leaves me
skewed like
a dunce:
head swirling
the cameras
have switched
over to hi def,
low light on
the theater stage
broken guitar
strings, my
heart brings it
home, alone,
butterball fluffs
on the trees
months early,
no stress,
all access to
everyone, but
nobody’s home,
they are out
searching for
themselves
too,
the HUMAN
ZOO
comes to order,
south of the
border: RELEASE.
