Hey guys, here's the last installment of 'The Atomic Bombs.' Jeff and his brother and a friend did the music and I did the words. Ah, they're still out there, somewhere now, those cads in the 'Bombs.' Rock and roll never died; it just got lost in the fifties.

the atomic bombs 9
Christopher Savage
those who had seen
the band
play
remarked that the men
resorted to
abandon
over cool;
they were
fables brought in
sports jackets
chanting about
life under
heaven
where good kids can’t go wrong
by
burning down
trees;
those who loved
the music
would tell stories of how the singer tossed his pocket
comb into
the center of the audience
and
laughed, screaming for
everyone to chase
after it;
the atomic bombs played
a song together
as
they happened to meet up in Korea towards the end of the war;
they joked that this
was the height of the world
and ventured a gaze towards the Pacific
