When Freddie goes in for the big
Vacuum cleaner reveal
With a wink and a kiss
Vacuum cleaner reveal
With a wink and a kiss
There isn't a bar in the world
On the wrong side of the tracks
That doesn't cheer him on
Even decades later
It's one of the biggest instant love letters
From any of our stars
To the rest of us nothings below
Without a word spoken
We can hear him say
"That's right, my darlings
Can you believe I'm getting away with this?"
My favorite image of him
Burning away in video foreverland
Too hot for the time
But now quaint in its
Playful non-threatenance
A smile
Which almost makes up for the
Years of pain endured
When he became one
Of the many sudden outlines on the pavement
Like too many others I knew
But name and nuance
Who I also wish I had
A recurring loop to enjoy on a regular basis
While we carry on
Without
