I've heard the best street comics rant

antic on

like Hamlet, like Ophelia after Hamlet,

like Mr. Bojangles

the way David Bromberg plays it, goofin'

but poignant,

like skid row itself,

where the only skin color that matters is

brown bag

brownbag blues, my memoir:

where the f*ck's my golden kazoo?

I'm the man with the golden kazoo.

.

I woke up and went back to sleep

as Groucho instructed:

He was no slouch.
