FOLLOW THE SUN
(After the boys)
(After the boys)
Beneath our
masks like rain falling
from the sky—blues harp
with crocodile teeth—oh dear, what
shall we do,
oh dear, what
can we do?

So, one day
we sailed beyond raven rays
of twilight where vegetation flourishes
beneath wanderlust rain with just enough
vitamin D to sustain us through medusa thick
& titanium thin, otherwise known as financial
collapses, moral droughts, & biblical floods.

Just about then
the moon as matador
in a black polyester waiter’s vest appeared
from nowhere beneath a bougainvillea
& purple eyeliner plea to what can we do
smearing psychedelic mascara with rain
falling from the sky—crooning
“follow the sun.”

So we did.
Percy Katt in "Torero" -- Angela McConnell
In 1960, 16-year-old Paul McCartney wrote "I'll Follow the Sun" as a rockabilly shuffle. Four years later the Beatles recorded it as gentle cha-cha. It was released on "Beatles for Sale," their 4th UK album, and on "Beatles '65," their 7th US album.
ReplyDeleteOne day, you'll look
To see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain, so
I'll follow the sun
Someday, you'll know
I was the one
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll follow the sun
And now the time has come
And so, my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know
Oh-oh-oh
One day, you'll find
That I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll follow the sun
Yeah, tomorrow may rain, so
I'll follow the sun
