ARTISAN BAND
I try to sniff out
poetry anywhere
and everywhere
omce I thought
a few flashes in
a band on the Reeperbahn
four working class guys
irreverent, cheeky,
full of irrepressible
young life
watched them
began to get excited, thought
I saw, felt poetry there
but they
were just getting better
tighter
practice making perfect
as is the way with bands
some of their lyrucs
and harmonies suggesting
promise, revelation of something
a capturing of the heart
of rock
and roll
but I must have been mistaken
projecting my hopes upon them
tough business, hope
they make it
my artisan band
