The Incident at the Bank of America

Leonard Cohen sings, in his song “Anthem”: "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in . . ." This is some poetry from that crack, written--- scrawled, if you will--- in various desert settings circa Green Valley, Arizona, sometime in 1996. “Anthem” is also the song I sang when I climbed up on the vice-president's desk in the Bank of America there in Green Valley, prior to my, uh, arrest there, for, um, excessive prophetic delusions ("But they've summoned up a thunder cloud, and they're gonna hear from me . . .", etc.) Enjoy. tf
