Ode to the Dylan Center
The $10 million Dylan Center, located in downtown Tulsa, is the museum-like space founded to display items from the Bob Dylan Archive which was acquired in 2016 for around $20 million. – adapted from Ben Sisario, “The $10 Million Bob Dylan Center Opens Up His Songwriting Secrets,” NYTimes.com (accessed 24 May 2022)
Sing, my Muse, in festal measures
Of this home for Dylan’s treasures!
Sing of temple doors which guard
The relics of a maverick bard!
A site which cost ten million dollars
Beckoning his fans and scholars,
Shielding in its bright pavilion
Archives bought for twenty million.
A shrine in Tulsa to promote a
Simple boy from Minnesota.
