Yesterday, I was in my yard when I saw a possum Swinging in the foothills and he was all up and hobbling I got a closer and his foot was mangled I was up earlier by what I thought was the cat tangled But it was him who got it bad from the cat that down the hill when he slipped under the fence I brought myself up to check him out; he found a nook under the air I him out to Caroline, she crouched down and he was shaking and full of fear And she stood 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 room and I got a call from He was in San Francisco and was playing Caroline drove me halfway there where I met And we to the city and we parked out in front of the DNA Justin and us, we had laughs and we took photographs backstage And our were protruding and all of them and we just kept laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing Laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
And when took the stage, Tony and I, we stood there floored machines hammered and feedback blazed For a moment, grew silent While Justin his guitar; like a church, it got so quiet for a minute, and then they all soared together Like a car off a cliff, we crashed and over and over and again and again They threw hard guttural B-flats [?] like a tough Roberto "Hands of Stone" Durán in the round Moore June 16, 1983 Godflesh [?] an early Mark "Gator" Rogowski Justin at the mic like a hungry grey white He was on fire, giving it everything he had and killing it night! Tearing out his and it came to a screeching halt A relentless and beautiful voice, a 70 assault And then he bowed down and he set his seven electric guitar down And screeched to holy hell and disappeared and off went the crowd
Then we had pizza and I came to my apartment in the city Until 4AM, I movies and my ears were ringing And I called out at the house We about the concert, about the possum down in the nook
And the ocean air came through my And the sound of foghorns, and then I woke was down in LA Tony had an open that day And I out at Sausalito And was on her way back from Lake Tahoe I got a call Paolo Sorrentino I'd be off to in a week or so
came home that night and we had dinner and watched HBO And I'm grateful for her love and for my And to have seen the possum walk its walk along the island
I want to old and to walk my last walk Knowing I, too, gave it everything I got But again all roadblocks and all obstacles I fought For to live another day is much than to not And I'd like to die music in my ears The piano of Ravel or Godflesh's guttural growls from hell The sound that evokes good memories of being young and to get around And I'd like Caroline me
old possum lost the fight His sad, black eyes; what a thing to see on a Easter Sunday But rodent was loved and he's still thought of Church rang that day I remember hearing them in the just as we left He had to heard them too
