'TRANE PISSED HERE
Folder:
CHOKE THE CHICKEN
“’Trane pissed here”
read the graffiti
above the urinal
at the Village Vanguard
I guess I’m supposed
to feel honored
that I got to piss
in the same bathroom
as so great an artist
but I really can’t
get all that excited
about ordinary activities
as mundane as pissing
I guess for some people
any little achievement
becomes important
maybe for some people
sharing a urinal
with a legend
is an important moment
but to me,
it’s just shows the opposite
of how small we can be
playing on stage with a legend
might be an honor
sharing a meal or drink
might be boasting material
but you know you’re living
a pretty sorry life
when you get excited
over where you take a piss

Fuche_Bu At The Vanguard
An historical event. Got to figure out how to sneak into the 'Trane/poet bathroom for a sightseen of this illustrious graffitti. ;D ~s~
Of course, this was over 25
Of course, this was over 25 years ago. It is truly historical if they failed to clean it up.
