"...and what does it mean--"

--he's stringing together random facts
about the world, trying to find meaning in them--
(in a slight panic or confusion during his search)--

"And what does it mean that Sun Yat-sen
was here in Denver, right here, almost a
century ago, here in Denver, when the
ROC was formed? October tenth--ninety-two
years ago--almost exactly? What does it mean?

Hey you with the pretty face
welcome to the human race

and today
is the day we've waited for

A frantic account of damn near everything! All-over, sporadic, autobiographical and completely ficticious, the story of the girl in the river taking off her dress, the accounts of everything, the girl in the skirt-shorts, the long airport drive, the wedding, it's all here,

YOURS WITH DEVOTION:
TRUMPET AND DRUMS

Madness in Denver, in Philadelphia, in Tokyo, in imagined real cities

because I'm
ON MY WAY
(all around)

and it changes speed and tempos midway through like IT'S THE SUN

ba da la ba da
ba da la ba dum

and she's got a car crash for a soul--

Her father's the musician. She won't get close. Taken advantage too many times. Jim is different--doesn't even like the band. Just likes her for her.

1. A pair of headphones dangle, attached to nothing except maybe a carryout box.

2. And as I always say: narcolepsy, narcolepsy, narcolepsy.

3. And the sound of the uilleann pipe, late at night, the glow of the screen, after midnight, on a basement bed.
