WEARS WIFE BEATERS

WEARS WIFE BEATERS

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

Check out the ink, 
authentic as a groupie giving it up
memorable stains 
"see this one, that was the time...
on the road, the streets of concrete and black"
waking up with something missing
another concert and back stage passing out
green rooms become lucky charms 
when molly and cid drown out 
the loud self hatred howl
the piercing sound of snow on a telly
made of wood 
in the hollow of the skull
giving head (another Grateful Dead 
teddy tats n skulls with top-hats)
Check out the ink on them cats
'cuz its cool like that, 
they're just bruises like permanent stickers
a quarter machine with bouncy balls
and shiny things--
Smile! Have a nice day!
Happy colors to cover up 
and hide the deeper pain that doesn't hurt
but slowly softly kills
somewhere inside where somethings
gone missing...

The plumes of flamboyant flocks 
and schools of shimmering fish
make for interesting documentary
nature shows
since nurture blows
their guardians uses 
the belt / buckle sometimes a switch
(they grow em big in Texas)

Yo peeps pay close attention... 
Check out the ink 
swats and s**t
wears wife beaters 
and his chick in the summers
wears faux 
furs of mink... 
and roller skates without a rink
expert skill set for Sonic 
drive by drive-thru,
So cool I'll call 'em Culo...

(In their natural habitats, the group and packs
and murder of crows, find one another
lushious... candy color coded hides...
like the wildebeast their multitudes run
in migratory trails anywhere from the law
or their own s**t making a mess... 
Mutual Of Omaha's wild kingdom in permanent
ink ... stains... memorable times... wasted)
