Hep Cat
By Dennis Robinson
Rah! Café music slick and slickening.
Cocktail cigarette smoke by the moment,
Thickening.
Wry smiles.
A world of conversation in every change.
Midnight loafers.
Riders of the range.
Clear cut, cut clean, variations on a theme.
Ten seconds outa date,
Wiped off the scene.
Mega metamorphosis, young has been.
Make up, made up, to be where it's at.
Zoot! Smooth!
Sleek as a cat.
Credit card credibility.
Jet lag resistant brains.
Culture shock. Shock on shock.
Taking curved rides on bull-nosed trains,
To exotic destinations,
Writhing in the glow.
Hep cat, feather in his cap.
Cool! A go go!
The music dies but the beat goes on,
And on and on and on and on.
