Air Guitar Runner-up

Saint Paul, 10 September 2007

I was runner-up

in an air guitar contest

losing to a Chuck Berry

look-a-like

whose crescendo

was a back flip

where he stuck the landing

on an empty beer can

I was Jimi Hendrix

coaxing Wild Thing

from my weightless axe

But there are only so many

guitar blanks

I'm willing to burn

before I win

this bitch
