Ode to Soho Zat

At Soho Zat
fair minded Stan sold my Bad Newz
fanzine from a spinner rack

5 or more he’d move each month
Stan turned stuff around
Stan would actually pay
an EZ going operator
Out there in his way

Pre social media
Zat supported edgy culture
Stan dealt books & zines
not a single cell phone then
messed up peoples minds

This place extraordinary
nicely packed in Soho Zat
Klumps of arcane history
r crumb & Robert Williams
Coleman / Eric Stanton too

It’s fun to recollect
the Vintage Fauxbrow Kulture Klatch
That was Soho Zat
