“you
really surprised me there”
but i had
to ask
yes, i
just had to ask
because
they couldn’t help it
the scenes
were lonely and sometimes desperate
mom tried
to cheer me up
the world
is going to hell
straight
to hell in a hell of a hurry
with
little more than a handful of components
he was an
important functionary
it was
funny as shit
so steady
on her bare feet
the scenes
were lonely and desperate
siphoning
off the bosses’ supply
with
little more than a handful of basic concepts
mom kept
trying to cheer me up
because
the world was going to hell
we’re not
right for each other
it just
doesn’t make sense to go on
he was an
important functionary
in a
mackintosh and bowler hat
he was a
big man, a reliable man
“the kind
of guy who always ordered two steaks and a baked potato”
but i had
to ask, didn’t i?
he was a
real big man, all right
the
scenery was lonely and desolate
as they
siphoned off the bosses’ profits

the
savage cooch
swiftly
savage as she sent it hurtling
a pint of
whiskey hidden in my coat pocket
beside a
pearl-gray buick
possessed
of a strange suspicion
beside the
pearl gray buick
he reached
through the front window
getting
into the big money
who will
ever know your mind?
after you
get the big money
and ride
away in your pearl gray buick
perhaps
such attentions are common
with one
of his sudden quick smiles
maybe they
do things differently in the big city
in an
impenetrable phalanx of conversation
who will
ever know your mind
it was
insolent and cynical
“she had
no call to talk to me like that”
it was
insolent and cynical and disrespectful
and think
of the dust
she always
had a big mouth
swiftly
savage as she sent it hurtling
with the
cooch and the mitt camp
“she could
really shake that thing”
and think
of the dust
one of his
sudden quick smiles
an
impenetrable phalanx of conversation
with the
cooch and the mitt camp
