Yesterday, I was working in my when I saw a possum Swinging in the and he was all beat up and hobbling I got a closer and his foot was mangled I was woken up earlier by what I was the cat tangled But it was him who got it bad from the cat night down the hill when he slipped under the fence I brought myself up to check him out; he found a under the air conditioner I pointed him out to Caroline, she crouched down and he was and full of fear And when she up, I asked, "Baby, why you crying?" She said, "Because he's cute and down there and he's dying"
I went up to my room and I got a from Justin He was in San and Godflesh was playing Caroline drove me there where I met Tony And we drove to the city and we parked out in of the DNA Justin and us, we had some laughs and we photographs backstage And our guts were protruding and all of them and we just kept laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing Laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
And Godflesh took the stage, Tony and I, we stood there floored Drum hammered and feedback blazed For a moment, everybody silent Justin tuned his guitar; like a church, it got so quiet Just for a minute, and then they all soared Like a car off a cliff, we crashed and over and over and again and again They threw hard vicious B-flats [?] like a Roberto "Hands of Stone" Durán in the seventh round Davey Moore 16, 1983 Godflesh [?] like an early "Gator" Rogowski Justin lunged at the mic like a hungry grey He was on fire, giving it everything he had and it that night!

we had pizza and I came back to my apartment in the city Until 4AM, I watched movies and my were ringing And I Caroline out at the house We talked about the concert, about the possum down in the
And the ocean air through my window And the sound of foghorns, and then I woke was down in LA Tony had an open house day And I out at Sausalito And Caroline was on her way from Lake Tahoe I got a from Paolo Sorrentino I'd be off to in a week or so
Caroline came that night and we had dinner and watched HBO And I'm grateful for her and for my friends And to have seen the possum walk its last walk along the
I want to grow old and to my last walk that I, too, gave it everything I got But again it's all roadblocks and all I fought For to live day is much better than to not And I'd to die with music in my ears The piano of Maurice or Godflesh's guttural growls from hell The sound that evokes good memories of being and able to get around And I'd like beside me
That old possum lost the His sad, black eyes; what a thing to see on a glowing Sunday But that rodent was loved and he's still of bells rang that day I remember hearing them in the afternoon as we left He had to have heard too
