4716. LET ME HAVE A STARTER

LET ME HAVE A STARTER

Cap gun ragamuffin Coney Island baby : I remembered

all that from a grade-school primer, the kind they use

today. Every tenth word a regular fucking shit-ass

profanity, cloaked and swaddled in perverse, smooth

intention. 'We don't want no kids growin' up to be babies.'

Yeah, okay, what he said, sure.

I noticed they paved the park. Now they can call it a

parkway. I noticed they put up a big sign which reads

'Park'  -  with an arrow. But it goes nowhere, except just

to a parking deck filled with cars at $29.95, 12 hours.

What the Hell is that to mean? Post-modernism with an edge?

I iced down the furnace right after I heated up the ice shed.

I licked a stamp right after I punched the clock. Egads.
