497. DOUBLE THEME SONG

DOUBLE THEME SONG
(Someone Downstairs Was Calling)
He'd put his feet up on your 116th Street
footstool like it was a mushroom and he was
a fly. Outside the window, some mad gymnast
was contorting with a sign - 'Amin's Flint Elixir -
Gone For Good! What Ails You!' - such a sign
I'd never seen before. You had tried the classical
music channel, but all the radio was doing was barfing
ads and news; everything of a captive nation soiled
and stinking foul. On the chipped wooden shelf,
anyway, nothing could look good, let alone work;
not even your bare, naked ass, powdered and petal'd.
I'd seen your breasts in a book before, so I knew
the game you played. Patsy's Pizza, let me say,
never had such toppings. Just then, the buzzer
rang - someone downstairs was calling.
