in 1971

on MacDougal Street

New York

a 25 year old

          unkempt with wispy hair

shouted out the front

of Bob Dylan's house:
FREE BOB DYLAN!
members of a group called DLF

          (Dylan Liberation Front)

were upset that Bob

was too apathetic & rich.

they were amazed

that he had furniture

electric lamps & a bed

for sleep. (not just to write protest

songs on).
according to a friend of Dylan

AJ Weberman was

the kind of person

“if you saw on a subway you would

change seats”

he went through Dylan's rubbish & was

known to be the first garbologist

in pop history.
Dylan chased him &

punched him in the face &

          said

“what can you tell about me

from leftovers?”
i want AJ Weberman to come

& study my bins

he'd find soy cartons, too much pasta & a quotation
from the lips of Christopher Walken on TV

“i got a fever & the only prescription is

cowbells.

more cowbells.”

weird but trashy.
