High Hopes

by Chris Sorrenti


Think I finally figured it out
though it took 25 years
a song by David Gilmour
Roger Waters in 1994
notably absent in physical form
not important
the imagery in the video
speaks for itself
all of Pink...

appearances of an unidentified man
from the back...side
and in front
facial shots...effigy
similarities undeniable

I can understand your inability to
shake him from the memory
founding member Syd Barrett
who in that time of magnets and miracles
lost his mind
to Schizophrenia...LSD

the grass was greener
the light was brighter


and despite the tragedy
the images in the video
speak for themselves
give rise to a
different kind of mindscape

to be sure
your old friend
shines on like a crazy diamond
