Spam Lyricby Gerald YelleIt rained that first night but the sun rose andthe walls and ceilings were awash and wewoke up and noticed we’d forgotten to closethe door. <strong>No</strong>t that we had to lock: we hadlittle a thief might want. The street oozedintangible wealth: the hills lined with the hutsof Geats and Beowulfs, vetiver and casuarinaholding down the soil, giving the hills a confidenthands-off look. Still, you never know.Burglars take risks. We shut the door andleft for our morning walk. Neighbors joined us.We crested the ridge and stopped near a stagewhere some kids were setting up amplifiersand mic stands. I stopped, but Em kept walking.I became distraught when I couldn’t find her.I explained to a neighbor that my need toknow where Em was stemmed from an overabundanceof love. He said nothing, but hisgreat height inspired a candor I hadn’t feltbefore, and I revealed thoughts I didn’t knowI had: In younger days I stood with Sting:“If you love someone set them free”–and maybeI still believe it, but I can’t help thinking thata lover who doesn’t try to make the belovedconform is simply not serious. “Love isa battlefield” is more like it, especially whenyou see all the broken hummingbird mothsand butterflies strewn back of the audience.26
