Old Lou and New Lou
Old Lou sits on a one-runner rocking chair in Judy Garland Park*
and excoriates the New York Yankees, name by name.
When the boys come in for the night shift they assist him to
his car with great tenderness, wet chin glowing purple.
New Lou has recently served his sentence of watching six chick
flicks chosen by his girlfriend. Judge Patricia Morrisey
imposed this penance to teach him sensitivity after the couple
brawled at South Philadelphia’s Oregon Diner.
ROCCO
Well, did you learn anything from the movies?
NEW LOU
Nah! They're all about fucking. Well, talking about it mostly.
Y'go through a lotta ass-squirming by the time they do it,
believe me. It's, like, you end up in a puddle of sweat.
ROCCO
Women like to really look at things, explore facets, discuss, ponder.
NEW LOU
Who wants t'watch anybody doing that?
ROCCO
Looks like the judge's clever sentence was a flop.
NEW LOU
And by the time the poor girls get to it, it's no damn wonder they're
all disappointed.
ROCCO
Great Expectations, or Tillie's Punctured Romance?
NEW LOU
Whatever. I don't hafta read like you to know everything's bullshit.
ROCCO
Cynical! You could never work for this Bush administration.
NEW LOU
Them? They bang you up the ass until you're grateful...
hmmm, that didn't come out right.
ROCCO
Not much does. Forget about it.
NEW LOU
And my father’s completely fuckin nuts!
ROCCO
That’s what y’call a coda. Old Lou coda.
NEW LOU
Whatever.
ROCCO
Or a non-sequitur.
NEW LOU
Who cares about anything like that?
