For Joey Ramone 1951-2001 Poem by Dermot McGarthy

For Joey Ramone 1951-2001

Rating: 5.0


The scrub-land jingle jangled,
Between Forest Hills and Flatbush Avenue.
You gave it a voice, and you were it's echo,
From Rockaway beach and the High Schools,
To teenage heartbeats all over the world.

In Rock Heaven there is a new star,
A beacon forever shines,
Between Van Courtland Park and Flushing Meadows,
On Sheena who is still a punk rocker,
A thriving energy in her soul,
An innocence of diamond blue deep in her eyes,
And someone whispering softly into her ear,
'Baby I Love You'.
