A bright and charming girl like you
Hangs out with these slackers
Who don't adhere to deals
They make fun- yet I am the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your stoop every night?
Is a fallacy in your head
Here she lies, no one knew her worth
The late great daughter of Mother Earth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass - you bet your ass to -
To going against the grain,
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old Mom and Dad
Midday past the three-piece suits
To fruits - to no absolutes-
To being an us for once ... instead of a them!
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos, to curry vindaloo
To Huevos Rancheros and Maya Angelou
Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens,
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men,
German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein
Antoniotti, Bertolucci, Kurosawa
To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy
Vaclav Havel - The Sex Pistols, 8BC
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game
In honor of the death of Bohemia an impromptu salon
Will commence immediately following dinner
Mimi Marquez, clad only in bubble rap,
Will perform her famous "lawn chair handcuff dance"
To the sounds of iced tea being stirred
Back from her spectacular one-night engagement at the eleventh street
Lot, will sing Native American tribal
Chants backwards through her vocoder,
While accompanying herself on the electric cello -
Which she has never studied.
And Collins will recount his exploits as anarchist -
Including the tale of the successful reprogramming of the M.I.T.
Virtual reality equipment to
Self-destruct, as it broadcasts the words:
