Song 14
It’s
High Noon
As
She
Lights
Her
Cigar
Stands
Tall
In
The
Asana
Of
Her
Integrity
Our
Senorita
Wears a red dress
The
Bandalero
Cheer
As
The
Smoke
Clears
She
Stands
Alone
The
Undertaker
Grins
When the yoga of honesty
Comes
To
Town
The good folk
Leave

There’s something ruthless about honesty. Honesty kills. Then again so does dishonesty. But at least honesty can offer the hope of a new beginning: the hope of change. The poem was always ‘South of the boarder down Mexico way’. The only thing that changed was that Clint Eastwood grew breasts & wore a red dress. Apart from that it is pretty much as it first came to me. An ‘Asana’ is a body posture; part of the practice of Hatha Yoga. ‘Bandalero’ are bandits.
