ON
THE DAY THAT DAVID BOWIE DIED
He
wasn't my cuppa tea
his
entertaining didn't really move me
but
over the years he kept coming up
like
a bad penny so the joke was on me
He
played two sold out concerts
at
a hockey rink and all the teen age girls
were
ga ga and off their nuts
like
a bunch of androgynous sluts
Washed
and shaved I turned on the news
at
sixty nine he died of cancer
a
world I survived twice
he
was a comrade in that way
Good
bye David
perhaps
I didn't understand what you did
a
talent at celebrity
perhaps
just jealous it never happened to me
