What the hell is Cabrito?

 

Somewhere behind the holographic goat image

plastered on the stucco façade of   “The Last Chance Cabrito Stand”

hides a wayward soul with lost lips and fevered brow,

attractive to some, but with a face only a second cousin could love

 

on an unrelated Eskimo’s side

 

Leaning on a metal container holding gallons of used brown paint,

he pulls a blade of grass from the parched earth and

finds the subliminal message extremely disheartening…

though he has no idea what it means

 

something to do with poetry an old Eddie Cantor movie

 

Tossing a stone at a plastic legless pink flamingo, (merely a wire holds the body upright)

this one time student of play-doh physics,

now lost in the dungeon of fiscal irresponsibility,

offers only apathy to any who might wander this same path

  

and his cardboard sign reads: “What the hell is Cabrito?”
