DIRTY LIL' ARGENTINE


leaves pants in fireman-puddles
drinks all of Cochina's pop
drags me to Korean horror movies
shoots his dictator finger off at you
chooses not to cut his damn hair
even though he looks like Jackson
smokes tobacco like an injun
forgets to give Calvino his vitamins
drives like fugitive cabbie from Dakar
dances like a slow cock, I mean, clock
followed by the receipts of degrees
manifestos at the drop of a cockade
can not keep steady finances or job
eats these repellant turkeryburgers
wears the same clothes during the week
can not program his sophisticated mobile
makes you sit through same stories over and over
takes the bus for subway duty
takes the cat to the park to prompt larks
jumps on beds in the Sleepy's
talks up the librarian for sport
buys fruit from Turkman with Ike coiffure
plops down by the ac and gears up loins
denies the downsize of our vigor,
in a loincloth or flagmug or freedomrag
purees the verbs of bygone era in pejorative sleeve
nighthawks from the turret of your chambre
dispatches legions of resumes, cover letter platoons
places one too many stamps for domestic, ground
drives to Key West for poonani with Luciano
has father ranked satrap of billiards, other entretemps
plays soccer like bishops wield miters
walks with eyes glued to the sake of scrapes
