#216: Hüsker Dü

What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Inside my head?

the question asked
by Hüsker Dü
the song of that title
Zen Arcade (1984)
with feeling
is asked for my sake too

heavy metal chords
earthquake drums
spreading sheets of heavy vibes
penetrating through the rock
inside my head

my head was first made famous
in Ireland where
i put it on a wall
it was widely acknowledged
among a small collection of freaks
that an explosion had occurred
inside there

underground, though
like a nuclear test
in another country

still, ask Paula
she might remember
