Lucille’s Entertainment
He seemed to play his heart out
in his bluegreen near-fluorescence.
The white piano like a toy.
Then he turned to me and cried
“I do it all for you! Never can
there be another!”
“Well, thank you.”
“Can you give me some small hope?
For such romantic bits of bits I live!”
“But...you’re a hologram! Size of Barbie.”
“Nonetheless! Oh...well.” He picked up
his sheet music and vibrated away from
the piano, trailing ribbons of greenish
light, the papers he shed drifting back like
glowing postage stamps.

Barbie, Broad of Beam
To you fine, to me not so much
-It's Barbie Abuse with your little
granddaughter!"
-I'm sad to hear that. How could
Alicia do anything wrong? Anything!
-She never puts any clothes on the doll,
and drags her around by her hair. So filthy
by now, it'll never again be clean.
-I'll speak to her. I was to tiny tea
not that long ago and Barbie came in
her golf outfit then. Quite spiffy!
Whatever did she do to...?
-You got that nice toy store downtown.
Walk over and get her a new one for
Christmas.
-Done! Got ten cabs in the shop and my
dispatchers going nuts, so I should take,
leisurely, such a walk? Well, back I go!
-Just a second. Have you looked at your
granddaughter lately. She's chubbing up!
-Great! Like you she might end up.
-Rubensque?
-Like a woman! Beautiful! I'll say no more.
-Well I will. Listen. There are more Barbie
models now.
-I'm shocked!
-Including one with a wide rear. Get her.
I don't want Alicia growing up with impossible
female ideals. We've had anorexics and bulimics
in our family already.
-But they've straightened themselves out, yes?
-Oh? Have they? Not that you've paid attention.
-Woman's shit! Give me a break!
-You've gotten a big one. You don't hafta
understand! Not a male requirement. Anyway...
-Don't worry, I'll buy Fat-Ass Barbie!
-Is that what you'll ask for?
-I don't know. I'll figure something. The girls
in the store will help. Everywhere I go, girls help.
It's beautiful!
-I believe that. To you they're fine, to
me not so much.
-Why is that?
-A long, long history!
-Some other time.
