Yesterday, I was working in my when I saw a possum Swinging in the foothills and he was all beat up and I got a closer look and his was mangled I was woken up earlier by I thought was the cat tangled But it was him who got it bad from the cat that Slowly down the hill he slipped under the fence I brought myself up to him out; he found a nook under the air conditioner I pointed him out to Caroline, she crouched down and he was shaking and of fear And when she up, I asked, "Baby, why you crying?" She said, "Because he's and he's down there and he's dying"
I went up to my and I got a call from Justin He was in San Francisco and was playing Caroline drove me halfway there where I met And we drove to the and we parked out in front of the DNA Justin and us, we had some laughs and we took photographs And our guts were protruding and all of them and we just kept laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and Laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
And when Godflesh took the stage, Tony and I, we there floored Drum machines hammered and feedback For a moment, grew silent While Justin his guitar; like a church, it got so quiet Just for a minute, and then all soared together Like a car off a cliff, we and burned over and over and again and again They threw hard vicious guttural [?] like a tough "Hands of Stone" Durán in the seventh round Davey June 16, 1983 Godflesh [?] like an Mark "Gator" Rogowski Justin lunged at the mic like a hungry white He was on fire, giving it everything he had and it that night! Tearing out his and it came to a screeching halt A relentless and voice, a 70 minute assault And then he bowed and he set his seven string electric guitar down And screeched to hell and they disappeared and off went the crowd
Then we had pizza and I back to my apartment in the city 4AM, I watched movies and my ears were ringing And I Caroline out at the house We talked about the concert, the possum down in the nook
And the ocean air came my window And the sound of foghorns, and then when I Godflesh was in LA Tony had an open that day And I looked out at And Caroline was on her way back Lake Tahoe I got a call from Paolo I'd be off to Switzerland in a or so
came home that night and we had dinner and watched HBO And I'm for her love and for my friends And to have seen the possum walk its last along the island
I want to grow old and to my last walk Knowing that I, too, 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 like to die with in my ears The piano of Ravel or Godflesh's guttural growls from hell The sound that evokes good memories of young and able to get around And I'd like Caroline me
That old lost the fight His sad, black eyes; what a thing to see on a glowing Easter But that rodent was and he's still thought of bells rang that day I remember them in the afternoon just as we left He had to heard them too
