Green-tentacled aquatic ventricles rise
from the lake, tentacles squirm,
Roger Waters waves his arm in circles
a moment's silence abruptly broken
by Eddy Waring 'And give it to them, Cardiff!'
Valves glow blue in abandoned Vox AC30s
teetering on the edge of black sand-dunes.
Floyd bounce jagged fragments of Money
off thin air, overhead two rockets flame
cathode ray tubes issue instructions
Smashed Stratocasters twangle
under shady old antennas
half a ton of dry ice, dense fog hides
clumps of madding hippies from bluehats
slobbering acid-heads scream and make off
in tiny craft from vandalised boathouses.
Security guards shed clothes. Pale fungous-bodies
dive. Some guy looks like Elvis. Hi. I am Elvis.
Everyone impersonating themselves forever
my impersonator falls unconscious, I end.
