I hunt outside the pack
no gang of from, no seeking herd
Watch tribal fire from afar
past spread of heat and light
Whisper own word to beat of drum
dance old in dust of new
I eat your roadkill
feed from garbage overfull
Let the cultural compost begin

My my, dead Elvis is 81 yrs old today, 2 years younger than Willie Nelson, 6 years older than Bob Dylan, year younger than Leonard Cohen, 11 years older than I. Alive 42 years, dead 39 – 3 more years he’ll be dead as long as he lived. He’s making more money now than when active . . . death can be a good career move.
