about

THREE HAIKU VS. THE PET GILA MONSTER (a song cycle)

lyrics

A burst of radiation
Ten thousand strong
Erases this song

The song bursts
Detonates
Vapor trails
Out to space
Where is it
What happens
To a sang
When it‘s gone
Does it go
Forever
On and on
No ending
Beginning
To get it
Is that how
The song goes?

A burst of radiation
Ten thousand strong
Erases this song
A burst of radiation
A zillion years long
Folks singin’ a song
