The Wasp (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)
Ton : EEnglish
I wantEm to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat.
It comes out of the Virginia swamps
cool and slow with rugged precision
with a backbeat narrow and hard to master.
SEmome call it heavenly in its brilliance
others mean and rueful of the Western dream.
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft.
We have constructed pyramids in honour of our escaping.
This is the land where the Pharaoh died.

TEmhe negroes in the forest brightly feathered and they are saying:
"Forget the night! Live with us in forests of azure
out here on the perimeter there are no stars.
Out here we is stoned immaculate."
