Out In The Street - inspired by the life and writing of Victor Serge there’s a policeman living across the hall listens in whenever there’s a phone call providing an example of the path not taken there’s a crowd of people out in the street and they are shouting no one should be rich now when grandfather was out in the street he was shouting no one should be poor in short life displayed itself to me varying aspects of degrading captivity I’m no good I’m no good for this machine in father’s house there were portraits on the wall of the men who were hanged thou shalt fight back this was his one command
2.
Mysteries Of Saint Louis, Part One - inspired by the life and writing of Henry Boernstein Boernstein is a ghost calling from the past of blue and gray uniforms arsenals lost and won unions formed and broken Boernstein is a ghost calling from the past a memory put on a shelf shut in a cabinet and locked in the library at night Boernstein is a name misspelled on a grave the sun rises over Bloody Island stormy nights along the river nobody on the banks looking to the Illinois side Boernstein is a ghost calling from the past sees the people eating fast sees the people working slow sees everything looking like it's all upside down
