Gyspy Theme



There's no gypsies in the Poem, but the tune is the backdrop for a spoken exchange between the People and the Poets, following the Pringle's first monologue, after which the People self-absolve:

People
OH POETS, THREE, IF CROWD
U BE, WHEREFORE THE FUCK
WAS THAT PRINGLE A-SINGIN?
AND WHAT, AT THAT, DOES IT
MEAN? WE’RE AFRAID!

Poets
OK, PER SYMBOL CRASH U HEAR,
ASSUMING MEASURES OF THE ZEPH
YR IN ITS ANGULAR SPRAYE—

People
OH SORRY, BUT WE HAVE 2 GO
NOW MANGLE SHIT 4 SUPPER SO
WE DON’T GET HUNGRY LATER
IN THE DAY. TATERS!

Poets
INNOCENT HATERS ~
THE WAITERS REGRET U
EVEN IF U NEVER KNOW IT;
LIKE WE DON’T JUST
HEAR YR WIND, NOR
SMELL SWEET NOTHINGS
IN THE FASTENING SPHERES,
AND EVER WILL WE SHOW IT.
YR FEARS WILL ONLY
KEEP YR BELT FROM A
LIGNING WITH ORION’S.
