I DREAM OF GENE GENIE.

I DREAM OF GENE GENIE.
snk.

I'm based upon ideas -
that David Bowie had.
He stored me in a binder,
labelled 'Slightly mad'.
For decades I have languished.
Just like Major Tom.
Craving the attention -
of the waif like scary one.
Ziggy draws his pension.
Gene Genie passed away.
I could have been a hero.
Instead I'm just a stray.
A monumental nothing.
A scrawl upon a page.
A cupboard in an attic.
The product of an age.
Surrounded by the trappings -
of a glittering career.
A faded presentation -
of a radical idea.
