Pom 'po pom 'po pon po pon pon

La vache quit rit
& les lapins
qui jouent des
tambours
have
little in common
except that Magritte
called this his
vache period &
painted lots of
rabbits—& other
animals—during it.

So, there goes the
neighborhood now
that musicians
have moved in next
door, & everybody
knows, as Leonard
Cohen reminds us,
that musicians fuck
like . . . well, fuck like
rabbits. So, pom' po,
paradiddle. Pom 'po,
paradise lost. Pon
po pon pon paradox.
