film house performance |
a squirrel dared a tightrope telephone wire brownstone to brownstone in a blizzard of snow and rolling cars i thought it was incredible better than the circus but i suppose squirrels do that sort of thing all of the time i was on my way to a film house they told me i'd get in for free if i played a few dylan covers they were doing a screening of the latest documentary a new one seems to come out every couple of months now all about bob dylan they gave me free beer and cheese and a microphone the beer and cheese was free for everyone. by the time i played, most of us were no longer sober and happy to be there so i did my thing and we filed in there was an excited mix of intoxicated dylan dreamers and that youthful giddiness of being next to strangers in a dark room with a big screen big ideas i couldn't tell then if i had had too much to drink but it seemed to me like we all blended in with the crowd on the screen looking up at the stage searching for something that most of us will never find |
