3. Famous Dead Rock Stars

3. Famous Dead Rock Stars

A Poem by Brett Hernan
"

I didn't make the image accompanying this work.

"




Rebelled against self.

Dreaming the mother lode.

Head rushing

an explosion

sprayed

the exact

same number of particles

as the memorial poster, magazine

and T-shirt pyres.

Parenthood,

marriage,

the state,

preconceptions,

expression,

ultimatum...

broken neon.
