New Poem: CODA TO THE SILENCE OF THE BOSS

 Bruce sings My Love Will Not Let You Down 

 can’t say the same for the ticket prices

 so I learn to live with what I can’t rise above

 listening to live shows for a fraction of the cost

 paid by celebrity guest singers and well-heeled fans

 as the Jersey Man sings from a seldom-changing setlist 

 about aging, death and being the Last Man Standing

 and I remember when I paid a ticket broker’s price

 (cheaper than Dynamic Pricing today)

 to sit in the now dead Los Angeles Sports Arena

 and buy a T-shirt (since lost) with the saying

 THIS IS NOT A DARK RIDE

 this was a mere 35 years ago
