“I liked the A side [of Abbey Road]…. I never liked that sort of pop opera on the other side. I think it’s junk. It was just bits of song thrown together. And I can’t remember what some of it is.”
— John Lennon, speaking to Rolling Stone
The web hangs suspended,
a disc — 33⅓ — will bounce
with prey as though dropping
down a spindle onto the table.
Seeming flimsy, it holds
together — like side 2
of Abbey Road. Eight
incomplete pieces strung
with filament that bind.
It draws you in… flies
to feast on. Inner circle,
her majesty awaits;
“…but she doesn’t have a lot to say.”
