Before and After

Before and After

The study of science, what's it take

to be a successful swami

what's in it being a bum

what's in it being admired

Danny Zuko never saw it coming

from Vincent Vega, "Yeah, we happy"

to lonely rides in a golf cart

or an air conditioned deathbed

somewhere in San Luis Obispo

Dancing in your underpants to

David Aames and his best friend Brian

taken for granted, taken for a ride,

a fool, open your eyes

take a closer look at that

giant Rauschenberg portrait

in the entrance hallway

the Coltrane hologram, the mole

the mask, a loft on Jay St.

outside the theatre

the cardboard facade of Sydney

could melt if it would only rain

meanwhile the smoke from Christmas

fires blots out the red sun

the dissolution of false hope

taking full responsibility

for your own delusions and denial

is easier said 

than done in the disco
