Names and Fame

Tom Waits

for no man;

Frank Sinatra,

wherever Atra is,

and Bob’s the ghost

of Jacob Marley.

Janis Joplin

even though Jan

hates jops,

but she’s not a racist.

Conor Oberst

out through his eyes

and Mike Mogis

joking.

Then there’s a Dane

on the M Ward,

probably because Donna

kebab ain’t vegetarian.

Bill Hicks

up and down

like a rollercoaster,

just a ride

in Drayton Manor

Theme Park.

Bruce Lee

bruised Lee

easily;

Jackie Chan can

like a Chinese man,

and Chine White

is right,

alright?

Jimmy Wales

even though it’s not sustainable;

damn you Jimmy,

I gave you my pocket money!

I’m in a Nicholas cage

of my own creation.
