Free Entry 1, Week 5

Cate Blanchett did Bob Dylan
better than Bob Dylan did Bob Dylan,
her masucilinely flat hair springing
sharply to life beneath a faux guitar
while tapping fingers split its side.
Side like a sewing pattern, brown
and dotted and transparent beneath her
already under-sunlit, scarred skin.
He had nothing on that shit, they'll say
when pushing their screens up to deadened
bedstands with books piled as legs,
Tom lisping a suffering "S" underneath
the pick made out of Cate's comb.
