GOODBYE JOHN LENNON, 25 YEARS AFTER

GOODBYE JOHN LENNON, 25 YEARS AFTER

A fan wanted a piece of him, 
and the bell rang good night 
and goodbye to John Lennon.
The Dakota became a pilgrim spot, 
a holy shroud, where the
spilled blood on the pavement
marked the end of an era.
Imagine there's no heaven… 
I remember his round glasses, stringy hair, 
he was dressed in white, as if ascended, 
with Yoko, in a staged bed-in, 
they sat as if on a floating cloud, 
preparing for ascension 
to a heaven where rock 'n' roll 
could be heard at the Pearly Gates.
