Pictures


"Take the canoli."

-So we iced the little prick using Godfather lines.

-Life imitates Art.

-Gangsters vary the script.

-Who’s influencing who?

-There’s a river in Italy flows both ways.

-How can that be?

-It be. We make it be.

1,0


Turkeys

Did Sinatra want to buy
all the prints? Hopeless

in our digital world,
where hauls persist

from Rye to Nome,
& clouds above,

of our own
Kissing Bandits
& randy loves, wild

messes & raw
transgressions.

Send funny cards
to forget.

The Future of Misery

Biff and Carol went on to the film, even though it
wasn't Leonardo DiCaprio, but the fellow looked
like him.

The other couple wouldn't, she insisting, even though
Carol informed them of glowing reviews online.

Well, that'd be the last time to go out with those two! 
At work he seemed scattered and worried, and she was
a mule growing up and had gotten worse.

Carol told him that at the Fourth Street Club everyone
begged off any committee she was on.

At bedtime--they had skipped beers at Lefty n' Lil’s
because of the sour mood. Which the lame film
didn't help...

ANYWAY, Carol told him it was bad luck to talk about
another couple's troubles. But they couldn’t help it:
those two being a trainwreck heading for a
bigger one!

Biff's final thought before brushing his teeth--
taking a very long time to do it in hopes the
subject would die--"You know, in the old days
that kind of woman just made the whole town
miserable, but now with the internet...?

You, Located

World Series in
City by the Bay so

camera establishes
bridges and water and

plopped in the middle, Rock
of Alcatraz, apprehended

from your gangster flicks
of course, but what if

Alcatraz made
a movie about you?

Your absurd escapes
and suspect modes?

How you and place
interpenetrate?
Often for ill.

I’ll get you into
the laundry, not
the worse gig

but caution!
Always! Shivs

have a way there,
midst the shim-

mering steam and sacks,
of mysteriously finding backs.
