Prayer

Bi_janus

I hear Leonard’s been talking

to himself again.

He’s hard to figure,

an unthinking genius,

all angles and sin,

uneasy as hell

when he sings the hymn.

Not like Johnny G,

who’s on his knees

in the theater

before every use

of his knife.

JG wants God to keep

him from slipping up.

Lenny wants to sing

like he used to wail

in Chelsea.

I hear Leonard’s been talking

to himself again.

[Cole Parker]

OK, that one I don't get at all.

Me neither. I'd guess Leonard Cohen, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, and ? Lenny Kravitz or Lenny Bruce?

I do like the way it reads.

[dude]

Leonard Cohen... Hallelujah?

Well, you got the Lenny. See this week's edition of New Yorker magazine.
