Sandwich Course

~

listening to old Dylan stuff,

it was never, ever about the music

clever as those untidy rhythms were,

acoustic or electric, a Messiah or Judas

his words still sit in my head,

the lexicon of my 60’s adolescence

uncomfortably wedged between

Chaucer and Shakespeare,

a no-shit sandwich that has fed me

for more than sixty years
