The magnetic power of Minneapolis is well-documented
in the scientific community. *Ahem,* ladies and gentlemen,
how many of us have awakened to find our bodies flat on our backs
while our minds are away up on the upper Mississip;
even when gravity attacks, and our spines get out of whack,
our brains still browse the Ax-Man looking for a project to attack.
Who is so strong to resist these limbless plastic baby bodies?
These 95 cent plectra? These rows of motors alternating
with alternators? We will meet in the afternoon of the out-
of-body, together again for minutes.
And when we scientific minds wake up, our theories
will be strong, but all that Midwestern mystery will remain:
such a fine secret to share with everyone; there
at the center of the continent, with eyes full of beer,
I’ll see you again next night’s rabbit or afternoon tap.
