Classic Poem

A verse of a Lapland song is haunting my memory still—
from modern Scandinavian languages the expression

MEAT-MOTHER

(what peasants call the boss lady)

Loaf-lord & loaf-lady are okay
but that Meat-Mother!

must mean metal money
man-money meat-mother

my me

Me Crazy Horse
exclamation point
My chest drum
I thump bosom
dried hide head
My chest harp
I pluck
yellow wires wow
My chest trombone
I glide
the slide boom tink eyow
My chest oboe
I squeeze
tears between the reeds eek
My chest old C-melody sax
I sing songs
with human voice
My chest Hammond Electric Organ
I pop stops
& hide gong
My chest Music Shed at Tanglewood
I make much music
money jangle jingle
My chest electronic ether
I contain canons
whole radio stations QRM/QRN
