"The muse says, 'Well, okay, fine, but if you don't get up, this is going to Billy Joel.'" -- PF Sloan, on songwriting
Unless I rip out a span of kraft
And crash it into a tree,
The March ponds of Minneapolis
Are only a theory --
Do you see -- why there are
So many names for the same artist
-- The one who did film noir, for instance?
It's because there was some sled of experience
A person was able to ride
To reach what was already there,
The diamond white of a virgin lake,
Needing only a cardboard square.
