Cat
Stevens running through my head
Music
made before he was an extremist
Or
maybe he was always an extremist
I
don’t fucking know
Going
to eat some banana pudding
Cannot
stomach chocolate pudding
Ever
since it was brought to my attention that Bill Cosby is a serial rapist
I
say is because sexual predators never change their roofie spots
I’ve
known Mark for so long it’s like he’s always been there and maybe he was
Never
forget the Comfest when I started to scream “White Jeep” and Lyceum 23 came
running into the tent like an exorcism was taking hold and maybe it was
I
believe that was my last stab at fame because not long after I settled for
infamy because the press junkets were more fun and groupies don’t expect as much
from you
Kimmie
told me “White Jeep” was played on a radio station in Czechoslovakia and that
made me feel good for about eight or nine minutes
Pick
your poison go ahead I’ll wait
My
latest poison was a young woman who it turned out really couldn’t stand me even
though she did a very good job playing pretend and making me feel almost human
again
Turned
out to be just another graphic novel I never should have checked out
Never
forget when we sat in the kiddy section of that library in Middleburg Heights
and you had me questioning my very existence as you sat there stone face like an
Easter Island statue and I begged you to reconsider
“The
First Cut Is The Deepest” is the Cat song playing in an endless loop in my head
I
wonder if he still does that one with his freak fag flying in the wind and his
beard not slowing him down in the least little bit
It’s
probably unfair to call him an extremist and I’m not sure if zealot is any
closer to the Buried Child truth
When
I looked down and saw it was Mark Gunderson calling I felt like it was the Pope
on the line and if I didn’t answer quickly absolution would forever be out of
reach

Where can I find a recording of "White Jeep"? Is it online anywhere? Legendary recording.
