GLASS HARMONICA

What will you do if I cry?

If I cry will you hold me --

or ignore me


I remember -- the rain...

a rose...

your hair and clothes...

I lift my head and come back

to reality

Will you hold me...

Julia's hair...gun...coat...

Spike's eye's...sullen stare...

gray rain in a graveyard

Am I dead...

I'll close my eyes as "Tank!"

plays in the back of my

mind...

The magical jazz and bebop

sends me someplace...

Somewhere far away...

I turn away...

Tears falling from Faye's eyes --

her face...breaking...

Tears...

Running...

Shin...

Blood...




Bang...

there's no black and white...

in the blue...
