It isn’t fair
that a stoner underachiever
like me
is able to have
so much fun
and get to go off
on all these little adventures
and as I climb
the Adirondacks
or swim in creeks
in Vermont
I remember a line
or two
of philosophy
I think of Nietzsche
as I take another sip
off my little glass
It, at times,
is almost too much
to comprehend
Drift down 42nd Street
and the folly of my youth
transformed into
a fucking Disneyland
in the wrong place
It isn’t fair
and it’s my albatross to bear
that the Chestnut Cabaret
is a fucking furniture store
Many venues torn down
just giant holes
that were once
Giant Holes
of introspection and transcendence
but I can do nothing
but enjoy the weather
rain or shine
and just be happy I’m alive
and by the end
of this sentence
I am hoping
that you will be too.
Cities Crumble
Old haunts gone, in Detroit The Graystone Ballroom could not be salvaged but we kept The Fox and Music Hall downtown. Pingree Park is there for dreamers of The Arcade and United Artist and Flaming Embers. :D

It does suck when a classic
It does suck when a classic venue gets torn down.
