1965 NORTHEAST BLACKOUT

a song he wrote

inside the 1965

northeast blackout

has a lyric

i got locked

in my head today

like tinnitus

its a metronome 

of bumper stickers 

on the M25

& a work boot up 

a constipated arse

TIME WAS

  and
i would stumble outdoors
onto the day glare edge
  looking
  for
wine and steak / paranoid tv thrillers / scotch and ice

  and
  i
  called the world a no-no
  was
  mean / my heart a no-show
 
  listening
  to
rock music from that delicious turning point
  that
  was
  1965
