Patti Smith - Prayer

stocking feet or barefoot
immensely proud or bent like love
twig scaffold
gravedigger or dancer in wind
the same wind yet stinking of pigs
rose or the pollen which makes one cough
cruel fantastic unlike anything else

to have no need for the apparatus
of the operating room
to be safe from all bodily harm
to know love without exception
to be a saint in any form

weird, controversial, engaging, provoking - that's what rock n' roller used to be about. now it's about vagina shots, fake boobs, being PC and helping corporations sell their gizmos.

Blaze on Patti! America may no longer make artists like you again.

An original artist for sure. Hugely influential and, man, she rocks! I love her!
