The New Decameron |
| In a time of plague |
| We were young and gay |
| And while money reigned |
| Minorities were wiped out every day |
| But we had tailors, we were getting famous |
| With the patronage of William Burroughs |
| And also Kathy Acker |
| Our pens would save the day |
| Singing 'tirra lirra tirra lirra tirra lirra gabba gabba hey' |
| And our heroes were |
| Nightclub entrepreneurs |
| Our novellas were |
| Metaphors and deconstructions |
| Architects |
| Who blow up their own buildings |
| While Reagan and Thatcher reigned we got famous |
| Not all of us survived |
| As happens in time of plague |
| Singing 'tirra lirra tirra lirra tirra lirra gabba gabba hey' |
| In a gilded time |
| When death was king |
| A group of authors began to write a new Decameron |
| Whose elegance bordered on the Florentine |
| And when the 90s came |
| We were immune to plague |
| To every known strain |
| Then along came Kurt Cobain |
