POEM BY BOB HOLMAN

Jumping out at you 
The Giant Heart of Rock’n’roll
Is big lime green square looks like 
Blank canvas or screen
Which you can tell is
LEAPING OUT
 Because of the five lime green
Lines of Motion 
Directly to the right of the blank green canvas
Which is of course also the bottom 
Of the upper left table leg
Of what is clearly a dancing dancing dancing table 
Legs akimbo Do the Limbo Do the Twist 
The Cavort the Blister Blastoff
Plop out those sweat globules 
Or maybe they are the tears
That’s right, there are 22 of them showing 
So only 74 to go coming right
At you folks this gallivanting tabula rosa symposa 
That has freed the Purple
Planets from the Polka Dot Galaxy 
Whippin lashin turnin crashin jammin rammin 
Winding up and winding down flip floppin
Glop sloppin and just plain poppin 
And rockin corners caromin zoomin
What I’m sayin is 
Curling the hurly burling flinging and zinging
Can’t miss 
Big hit 
Never be done with it
All the way to the end of the song
