beautiful loser
the iceman cometh on broadway
is how I understand it
on stage or in some city park
brought back to life by an imagination
starving for attention
I swear I heard the radioman
repeating the iceman will cometh
to a theater near you
they dug him out of a hole
created back in 1782
apparently buried deep inside
where the frozen ocean
meets the rock
they revived him time and time
again
and each time
he lost a little more of his life
deprived of dreams and oxygen
that would one day save his life
july two thousand fifteen
