A Song for Andy Formula One

.

i am listening to a new recording of the goldberg variations.

the whole world is on fire and Ernest Becker thinks we are dead.

in Florence we searched for a monk’s pharmacy

drank pom juice and stayed very quiet

in a medieval castle.

.

Then Andy drove very fast

very fast

very fast.

.

When the garden closed we took refuge in an empty church.

There was always more gelato and cinghiale,

and of course more wine.

But Professor you still have not told me

why we came to live in this ephemeral life.

Perhaps we did die like Ernest thinks,

and the memory of Andy meeting Nan

falling in love in their teenage years

was just a dream.

.

That’s because

Andy drove very fast

very fast

very fast.
