Lobotomy

[Totenkopf]

The favorite Top 40 Noir
narrative noise typically begins
with "I". You can fill in
the blanks generally--
booze, cooze, coke
yadayada--
Bad Bukowski
melodrama
that dimwits mistake
for metaphysics.
Comma splices mar
the diction of
corporals (most floozies
quick with a punctuation
gun love their soldier's
scribblings)
Clyde and Bonnie,
Paola and Francesca:
the bust of
Shakespeare
with an ice pick.
