    Who Am I ... Part II

     Have we all been here before?
     Could some of us truly be "old souls"?
    Why then ... when I was only 8 years old,
      the first time I ever sat on the back of a horse,
    (having known only the urban,
      paved over jungle of Roxbury, Ma.,)
    did I already know ...
      how to ride the fucking horse?!?!?

    Why, when I was only 7 years old ...
      when fucking Buggs Bunny and Mickey Mouse
    should have been my only heroes,
      was I more interested in ...
            Annette's tits 
            Minnie's ass
            the Jazz and Blues music
    coming from the Edison table top radio my Mom gave me ...
     and the emerging,
         yet subterranean
            "beatnik" scene
     coming out of New York and eventually Boston?
                        Saxophones!
                        beat!
                        bongos! 
                        bop!
                        the lingo ...
    "Daddio"..."c-r-a-a-a-z-y,man"..."coooooool!"
    I'm hip ...
       ELVIS SUCKS!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
