Checkered Flag (for the little Kenyan Boy)

Surely
Everybody wants a big car
is a better motto than
Home of the brave

Just as surely as
Everybody wants a fast car
is a credo superior to
Land of the free

It therefore follows that
Big fast cars are expensive and dangerous
must necessarily surpass any Constitution as an
organizing principle, exceed any Bill of Rights as
a protector of human dignity.

But I'm no cockney lizard
peddling auto insurance and
under no circumstance imaginable
will I pay for your gas.

Therefore, you the driver have been left to ask
Just how long must this NASCAR race last?

 

We must get ourselves together soon because there will be nothing left.
-- Albert Ayler
