the beatles

the lingering importance of the Beatles...

or is it the increasing irrelevance of now.

there is a new gentle song i’ve never heard before;

the windshield wiper, rain

and screams muted as if into a pillow.

ultimately our lives are brief and irrelevant

but it’s a pity we live life knowing so.

in the city they’ve seen movies more gruesome than this

some have even quoted them in their thesis,

so

seeing a young fist

impale a radio

is the final homage

to ‘tomorrow never knows.’
