The following power appeared under it’s original title “Where we can be disqualified for love, only hate will get us promoted” In my unpublished collection of verse “The shelves will one day buckle” This poem also apperaed in the arts magazine KeenWord (July 2005)
Grope at another as they walk by, like an old man grabbing blindly for his cane
Walk around in the sands and fool yourself it feels good on your feet
Butternut squash and handfulls of cashews cannot stop the Native Cry
The Native blood
But the white noise of a broken tv or a mumbling relative still calms nerves
Disinfects open wounds.
Beat upon your chest untill you blister and ask for seconds
Will that drunken alley cat follow you home
If he does, it’s your litter now you little Russian minx
Happenstance cannot predict or predate what saucer will come for you
Or how much milk your burnt tongue will lap up from it.
A cripple on the subway or a wax paper wrapped salmon from Stalin’s own ocean
Both have the salted skin of a being that once knew wiser

1966 single recorded by folk-rock group Sampson & McDean. Chilling. Imagine if Simon & Garfunkel and the Velvet Underground recorded a song together. An amazing band that my label is re-issuing.

This song is from a Canadian folk group Called Sampson & McDean, who released albums from the late 50’s to the early 1970s. This song, “The Year Of 1911” was their most famous song (Although many songs charted in Canada) as it seemed to predicted the tragic events of 9/11 in lyrics and title decades before it happened.
