The best painter of our time is wasting away somewhere
the greatest scientist is working
while we are chasing Madonna
with cameras
somewhere some lonely Beethoven works tonight
and maybe
throws some paper
some paper which maybe
will be
in some museum
some
day.
He beats his head against some wallpapered wall.
Somewhere some unknown poet taps taps taps at the keys
leaving scraps behind
to be thrown away by
elvis
– David Jackson
