Janis on the Astral

 

This poem will eventually be read on Youtube, accompanied by some simple live-looped music, similar to my vid "Janis in the Window," which has been out there on Youtube for a few years now. Anyway, this is what I've got, so far.


Janis on the Astral


Running loose on the Astral Plane,

I found a place of trippy memories:

curious things, close to hippie hearts,

rare, out of style, the shop did contain.

I knew that Janis had been there,

and would come again if I should wait.

I tried to send her a message,

and indeed she saw it,

but has not, as yet, replied.

[It never occurred to me at all

that Janis Joplin had died,

for such does not happen, 

on the other side.]  Repeat.
