the last waltz
I’m like a transistor radio w/many channels
what song would you like to hear
now god is coming through loud & clear
in the form of the twenty-third psalm
an invisible hand reaches out
advancing the dial from station to station
red hot chili peppers take to the waves
road trippin’ with their two favorite allies
joplin & meat loaf singing a duet
sinatra & winehouse as backing vocals
wrigley guests in the television booth
singing take me out to the ballgame
there’s no such thing as dead air
not as long as I’m spinning the vinyls
late night shift quickly coming to an end
I leave you with the last waltz
september two thousand twenty-three
