Castro - McCartney |
Men of their time,
fossils in action,
both left
with the burden of age,
the burden of being alive,
greatness decaying
long before their bodies,
while their respective
creative partners
Is dust
immortalized
in iconoclastic posters and T-shirts
by youthful death.
Che & Lennon,
members of post-modern, hip-hop, rock bands,
advocates of global justice
against a ravenous global economy,
environmentalists against global warming,
socialists and product pitchmen,
made relevant
by the imaginative leap
from the spring-board
of the what if.
