The Dont Ask Dont Tell Overture

Of Scylla vom und zu Karybdis





I shot an arrow
Into the air
And where it lands . . .

. . .



I was told not to care

Ode to McLuhan

The medium is the message
Or so McLuhan said
(Oh, waiter - I'll take that steak medium-well
And don't you DARE skimp on the bread!)
But what really matters most here
What's really disgusting
(MY GOD! - THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
IS CALLING MY CELLPHONE!!!)
Is ...

Sound-bites and fury
Signifying nothing

As Aeolian Harps

As Aeolian harps
On yon pavilion play
And skateboarders careen
Their cotillions where they may
Let all men give condolence
On the hills and by the bay

As Aeolian harps
On yon pavilion play
And skateboarders careen
Their cotillions where they may
Let all men give condolence
Wherever the homeless lay
. . .
