Just a quiet little man
going about his business
never been to La Scala, Milan
No verismo or crude passion,
his chest does not swell
with the power of grand opera.
Gnossiennes and Gymnopedies
are what he goes in for;
a strange simple originality,
A rare man is Mr. Eric Satie.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
Love ya!
