My building's full of little holes with heads in, staring at the street.
|
They sometimes topple forwards, then stick at one another, passing freaks.
|
They rarely speak and though I don't feed them--still they keep their double
|
(their quadruple) chins. Their garbage bins are emptied each day. By night
|
waiting with lights off, their cats out, their wives in-- they're PEEPING!
|
They're peeping at the methylated man who spits in a can, spreads his hands
|
for silver, pans for gutter gold. He mutters old forgotten songs his father
|
taught him, rolls on the floor. He rolls in alcoves, gets caught in
|
waterfalls down rotting walls. (He's bored.) My friends applaud, throw
|
pennies and wait . . . peeping from the gallery.
