It’s 85 out.
I went to public school 75
theN taught at PS 65.
I can’t drive fifty five,
I’m forty five,
Drew Blood’s really thirty five
and I was born in the one oh oh two five.
I had an after school job on West one one five.

What does it mean?
What does all this signify?
What’s it all about, Alfie?
Ask Seinfeld.

Jerry Seinfeld was safe.
Jerry Seinfeld was reasonable.
Jerry Seinfeld was the latest
in a long train of comedians as the face of sitcom stardom.
He was a calculation.
He was expected.
He was not one that would rock the boat
but then he did.
Fridays-friends Richards and David defined it
and with Ess Enn El alumn Julia Louise onboard
and Alexander along for the ride
they created something
unprecedented.
And Fridays was a Lorne Michaels’ ripoff
and Dreyfus was at the original for a while
and they both exploded their genre once.

Does that explain how they did it?
Is that how they rebuilt television
in their own nihilistic vision?
Ask Seinfeld.

I’ve been looking for signs.
I’ve been searching the streets for significanceunable to achieve anything
akin to my goals.
I’ve been hoping for a place

a place of understanding
where I can learn about myself
and the universe.
I thought my city would provide wisdom.
I thought a show about my city would be the key
and comprehension would be uncovered
between its commercials.

Who was Steinbrenner?
What did the waves mean?
Who played Kramer on Jerry?
These answers could solve everything.
Everything…

Ask Seinfeld.
