5897. ALDO

ALDO
Can you grab a goatee and then keep
running? It is nineteen-fifty-seven all
over again, andI am learning a hundred 
things a minute. Aldo is shaving off his
lyrical beard. He's European-classy, and
probably gay; the futzy Americans with
whom he is staying do not much like his 
Euro-ways. Is he red before there were
Red Brigades? Is a McCarthy badge of
honor within him? I do not know if he
would name names  -  but for some fifteen
American dollars his beard is already gone.
