Rock out
Kick ass poem by Anis Mojgani--just had to share
Rock out like you were given the last rock and roll record on earth andthe minutes are counting down to flames
Rock out like you just won both Showcase Showdowns
Rock out like the streets are empty except for you and your headphones
Rock out like your lips were on a breakdancing muse with legs that go all the way up
Rock out like Publisher's Clearing House is ringing your front door
Rock out like you'll never open a textbook again
Rock out like you just got your legs back
Rock out like you get paid to disturb the peace
Rock out like music is all you gotRock out like you're on a rooftop and the city is as loud and glowing as a river flowing below you
Rock out like the plane is going down and there are 120 people and 121
parachutes on board
Rock out like the books and the street corners are on fire and the fires can only be extinguished by doing the Roger Rabbit
Rock out like like it was Saturday afternoon and Monday is a national holiday
Rock out like somebody's got a barrel to your temple saying Rock out like your life depended on it, fool! because it does
Rock out like your eyes are fading but you still got your ears and you don't know for how long
Rock out like 5 o'clock time meant pop 'n lock time
Rock out like you got a pantsfull of tokens and nothing to do but everything
Rock out like you are the International Skee-Ball Champion of the entire Universe
Rock out like you escaped an evil orphanage to join a Russian circus
Rock out like your hero has fallen and you are spinning your limbs until they burst into a flaming pyre of remembrance
Rock out like you are enslaved in the south and dancing is all that you have to know who you are
Rock out like your dead grandfather just came back to take a drive with you in your brand new car
Rock out like the table was full
Rock out like the neighbors are away
Rock out like the walls won't fall but dammit you gonna die trying to make them
Rock out like the stereo's volume knob only has the figure 8 of infinity on it instead of merely numbers
Rock out like it's raining outside and you got a girl to run through it with
Rock out like you were playing football in the mud and your washing machine ain't broken
Rock out like the window is open on your honeymoon and you want the whole world to know what love is
Rock out like you just got a book published
Rock out for the man in the wheelchair who is living vicariously through you
Rock out like you were having a baby when you thought your ovaries could not
Rock out like you were a loser who went to your high school reunion to find everybody even the women are fat and bald except for the Prom Queen who has just been divorced by her impotent husband and who only has eyes for you!
Rock out like you have a date with Heidi Klume
Rock out like your girl just dumped you and the city is full of more
Rock out like a shadow of a man passes behind you, drops you to your knees, you're buckling in a sweat, cold metal is pushed to your forehead, the trigger is pulled--and the gun jams!Rock out like you got an empty appointment book and a full tank of gas
Rock out like Jimi has returned, carrying brand new guitar strings
Rock out like the mangos are in season
Rock out like the record player won't skip
Rock out like you were teaching someone to
Rock out like this is the last weekend
Rock out like these were the last words
Rock out like you don't ever want to forget how
Rock out like you were given the last rock and roll record on earth andthe minutes are counting down to flames
Rock out like you just won both Showcase Showdowns
Rock out like the streets are empty except for you and your headphones
Rock out like your lips were on a breakdancing muse with legs that go all the way up
Rock out like Publisher's Clearing House is ringing your front door
Rock out like you'll never open a textbook again
Rock out like you just got your legs back
Rock out like you get paid to disturb the peace
Rock out like music is all you gotRock out like you're on a rooftop and the city is as loud and glowing as a river flowing below you
