Where have you been,
Larry, my friend ?

Everywhere I find myself

Especially in places
of fading traces
and beneath the
dust on a shelf

Castrated
by confusion

What cha been doin' ?
Anything brewin' ?

Nothing new to report

Pea porridge cold
Half a century old

Occasionally
taking a snort

Castrated by confusion

"Reeling in the years"

Have you been dreaming?
Anything scheming ?

No plans
No problems
No fears

No fast forward
No rewind

Play at recording

"Stow away the time"

"Gathering up the tears"

Let the music play

Blow the trumpet in Zion

Making Daniel
a bit more callused

to overcome the lions

Steely Dan

"Do it over again"

castrated by confusion

"Wheels turning 'round and 'round"

"Oh Michael
Oh Jesus
I'll keep
my promise when
you turn that
heartbeat
over again"

"Love your mama
Love your brother
Love 'em till they
run for cover "

Where have you been,
Larry, my friend?

Everywhere
I find myself
