Many Things Wonderful to Tell
The mad monkish scientist of jazz
sits smiling at the grand unveiling of his
latest creation, while a railroad bridge
riveted together of mostly weathered
driftwood and old rusty pieces of scrap
iron shows us the nearest way to many
possible futures where, amongst many
other things wonderful to tell in this
hot and swampy Sargasso sea of broken-
down cars, campers, bicycles and boats,
a lone pristine Cadillac sits, ready for
lift-off, to take us to what all the locals
swear is the best damn greasy spoon
diner in the galaxy.
