' After the giG '

Separate the art from the artist
before you meet them after the gig
incase you feel the pinch
if they come across retarded, thinking that they're big.

I met a guitarist,
the hitter of the strings
and didn't feel the need to be guarded from the creator of things
that removed my defences for a bit from the offence life can bring,
but separated from his instrument, he lost all meaning
And it was disillusioning!

You can always hope for the inverted thing,
so that the two don't have to be parted
and the whole thing outsmarted
But heed this warning!
