CASE 51<br />
FAYAN’S “BOAT OR LAND”<br />
Song of the Stringless Lute<br />
When butter melts in the hot skillet, I crack open three eggs.<br />
Plate, sit, coffee, toast--I'm about my day.<br />
Tell me, do I have eyes or not? Rather, the eggs do.<br />
They leap into the pan with an ardent sizzle.<br />
At the concert's end, the band leader smashes his guitar--<br />
that's one ear-splitting means of renunciation.<br />
There's no Who or What here--those who receive Pete Townshend's<br />
message<br />
float the silence back to shore.<br />
