I wantyall to meet my manager-first name
Fill Up, last name The Bucket
he bobs his unkempt fro
& his muscular arms rap out
a rapid Rock beat on a skillet
& a 5-gallon bucket
metro riders & tourists
gather round Lament outside
the China Town station
businessmen & bicycle
couriers are amazed at
the high-pitched knocking
of bread pans he uses for
cowbells as passersby pitch
change into a plastic pail
every little bit helps ...
