American Pie

Unpublished

American Pie

I’m naked beside Monroe
As the coldness rushes in
Jones and Epstein are fighting
Over who gets to teach me how to swim

Sylvia’s writing my soliloquy
But she doesn’t know where to start
I’m Brandon Lee’s stand in
It’s a really killer part

I’ve had Hemmingway offer me advice
On how to hunt and the use of a gun
John Wayne’s offered me a movie,
A western, in the New Mexico sun

I’m getting driving lessons from Jimmy
Now the Spyder’s service is done…
So leave me standing at the world trade center
Buddy and I are waiting for our plane to come in.
