April 18th





WHO?

Late in his life, it seems,
Pete Townshend pulled out
That old wool suit, those
Unbecoming brogan clodhoppers
And crept back into the hills

He traded jackhammer riffs,
A turbo-jet lifestyle for
Smoky Appalachain winters
Grew out that grey-ribboned
Freak flag, that hearty beard

He slaughters his own hogs
These days, puffs corncob pipes
As he rocks a handmade chair,
Talking 'bout his generation
