Uppsala Nocturne
The party let up
around 1:00 AM.
Now I'm pounding
the pavement
in this university town,
Dexter Gordon's sax
still ringing in my ear.
Them college kids
knew how to party.
Tossing aside their Hegel
and Todorov,
They cut loose,
Tore up the floor
'til the whole building
swayed.
Pagan blood
runs through their veins.
And they say this place
was holy to the Vikings.
I believe it
after such revelry as this.
