Lafitte


I cancelled
my dentist
appt.
last summer
because
it was
Carnival
you wanted
me to hurry
back. I
carried my
bag down
the center
of the
street
I was
a mariner
a piece
of the parade.

When I
got home
you were
simply bugged

no girlfriend
waving from
the patio
of the gallery
What's the
rush?
My exhileration
the moustache
I slapped
on my
face just
in case
Gold beads
everywhere
I have
tanned
photographs
of that.
In January
my teeth
need a
cleaning,
I'm broke &
I blame
you.
