The KING OF ROCK AND SOUL was having MIDNIGHT LOVE with HER MAJESTY when ST. ELSEWHERE swallowed the JAGGED LITTLE PILL that would bring to the CROSSROADS at the end of the LEMON PARADE, where MUDDY AND THE WOLF were playing DOUBLE DUTCH. They were ORPHANS: BAWLERS with NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE and EVERYTHING IN TRANSIT.
with EYES OPEN, he watched as they pointed to the DEAD LETTER OFFICE and said, “EVERYTHING YOU WANT.”
The saint’s HOPES AND FEARS of RECOVERING THE SATELLITES and THE CROWN JEWELS relied on THE LAST DJ to ride in on a COMFORT EAGLE and start BRINGING DOWN THE HORSE of THE GLASS PASSANGER, or death.
upon entering the office, he saw VIVA LA VIE OR DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS riding a ROLLERCOASTER and WINCING THE NIGHT AWAY. death’s face was a MELLOW GOLD, like that of walter matthau in THE ODD COUPLE. he saw people climbing a WHITE LADDER and wondered if, since EVERYONE ELSE WAS DOING IT, WHY CAN’T WE? He considered yelling out to them, but knew the CALL AND RESPONSE would come from a LITTLE VOICE. instead, he put up his HISTORY FOR SALE and began DREAMING OUT LOUD of the eagle, and THESE STREETS, running on a CONTINUUM through ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE AND GRACE.
The eagle had flown all night through the GARDEN STATE, and arrived with the dj UNPLUGGED AND UNDRUGGED to play a CONCERT IN CENTRAL PARK.
The saint rejoiced, “i prayed for YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU to come and help me!”
the saint replied, “WE SING, WE DANCE, WE STEAL THINGS. now, let’s get those jewels BACK INTO YOUR SYSTEM.”
the dj played to DAMN THE TORPEDOES and the devil turned to SAWDUST. the dj handed the jewels to the saint, “SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ME BY.
the saint reliep, “IN YOUR HONOR, i will give these to the king.
and with a WAVE, the dj mounted his eagle and said, “GOODNIGHT AND GO.”
