After the Beatles 2023
Break or bend,
falter or ascend,
I’m an old soldier waiting
for the integral part,
the linchpin.
The keystone I’ve failed to defend.
I know the fortress I’ve built
defies the plans;
the long-forgetten myths
don’t stand a chance.
Not after so many beginnings
and so few ends.
Going back to The Beatles is like
going back to school
to learn
supply is never greater than demand,
and art expresses pain,
a vanishing.
I will be proved right:
they (whoever they are)
can’t beat love.

A found poem of sorts taking lines taking from some of Lennon’s most famous quotes.
