Lowell George
it was too tough with zappa
though no one would have guessed
no drinking, no drugs, no needles
but your refrain was bird’s
leaving, searching, hitting all along
fz’s vision you maintained
in journeys wrought with monkeys
‘hey brother, can you spare . . . “
gathering horns and ex- cowboys
you roamed – seeing home
for the first and last time
bringing the south to a cosmic edge
and i sit in some notion of comfort
having decided that A + B = C
along the way and i listen to
“roll’em easy” and “willin’”
and smile
