Relics of Little Red Hat Worship in Eastern Manhattan
Meredith Walters /
Snow comes secretly to the desert, says the coat check girl,
strumming an anthem. In the background
Madam X conducts the back-up dancers. Lo fi
trips around half-dressed towns
end here. Afternoon light
pours in like ingénues from Montana
wish us gin and sleeplessness. Why applaud
these walking phantoms? snow comes
secretly to movie star eyes, says Madam X.
City of the endless
mosque this place is named for, play an instrument
we cannot hear.
Somebody please sing
about the way we feel inside us. Somebody walk us
towards that tolling memory exuded by many more nights.
When you play guitar I think
of yellow flowers.
Do not open your eyes, the last marvel of all.
Someone couldn't love you long enough
to love the university of ancient brass bands
exploding right down to your schoolyard.
Where did she leave you?
Astoria isn't Marrakesh.
If music did what scholars promise, we wouldn't need them.
Endless secret do not reveal your anthems
easily or at all. Eat falafel, it's full of wisdom. Sleep people
with your left over daydreams.

The pleasure of being together has gone.
It will be spring, and all down the avenue
we will wear our ideas
of each other out.
A pale future.
Such fabulous mathematics we need now to find
our own way into that simple red hat
in which we used to visit ourselves.
We were so many good ideas inside!
Where will we go now
having fallen over one more something
money has taken from us?
I want to know the question.
Have you ever seen
a sunny day falling down a shady hill?
That's how I feel when I see
you all dark and the remains
of this chapel that was a mosque.
If we are listeners you are singers,
and if you are singers we must hear you.
The lesson of others is a bright one
we shall very much like to learn
under our little red hats
you have come to recognize.
This is how we will recognize you.
It will be spring, and all down the avenue
we will wear our ideas
of each other out.

If we are listeners you are singers,
and if you are singers we must hear you.
The lesson of others is a bright one
we shall very much like to learn
under our little red hats
you have come to recognize.
This is how we will recognize you.
You've Lost Your Fez
You've lost your fez, that's all there is to it.
Lights in the desert, your old guitar.
Astoria isn't Marrakesh. That, no music can change.
Some nights you feel again you're holding
someone in your arms you can't recall.
You've lost your fez. That's all there is to it.
Your little red mule trots into the sunset.
There's no place to park and the rents are cheap.
Astoria isn't Marrakesh. That, no music can change.
So hatless, elsewhere is where you go.
A cool wind stirs in your hair.
You've lost your fez, that's all there is to it.
Another street with no music,
another storefront, another wireless hub.
Astoria isn't Marrakesh. THat, no music can change.
Little by little, without any reverence,
a building replaces a hat.
You've lost your fez, that's all there is to it.

Thank you & Goodnight for now...
