on a dandies corner
leaning back on the faded
brick..
got his toad sticker out
and peeling off the gravel
and dog shit pressed into
the fancy tread of
second hands
Smiles too those smiling
and blank watchful to
those sneering
grabbing their purses
checking their wallets
"goddamn pussies!"
he Smiles folds his knife
pulls out a long fag
with his four good
fingers and flicks the
zippo to its nice little
fire....
Watches the smoke
rise in the breeze
and the clean edge
of the seagulls
flying over
Hoping they dont
shit

..
