IS A MARK

Some boy
(he calls himself artist)
told me a story
about a Man
who bounced on a piano
at the hollywood bowl,
and I could hear
a voice that,
in the distance, said
"Passion Sells Records."
That's what it is.
Energy,
Investment
really pack the bastards in,
so that ANYone
who is touched by that music
is a mark.
This youth here
who wants,
SO desparately,
to feel SOMEthing
is a target,
and the people
who own those emotions
don't care for its Source,
only know
HOW
the shit is said,
because a Guitarist's affection
for a girl named Jennifer
means nothing,
because
Passion Sells Records.
