And Iggy Sells Insurance


from the ABC set

Mapplethorpe's photos in a charity drive,
Rock and Roll zimmer frames
- Jagger's ordered five.
Amis and his Lethe booths,
other angry old men.
Let's burn all the libraries
and start the fires again.
Better to burn brighter,
if for the shortest time.
Wait 'til Banksy works for Tesco's,
then graffiti is a crime.
I'd rather be the problem,
if the solution's crystalline
- frozen in the framework,
for your heroes are not mine.

I always thought Iggy would become an exterminator/beat poet. Either this or a primary school teacher.

Top work, mate.
