`
a man and woman
sit under multicolored
joseph umbrella
they suddenly age
what happened to those people
twenty years older
elders steal the shade
who knows what is going on
real couple come back
dogs come to say hi
to see if they like our lunch
cheese quesadillas
and the government
blowing up the bluest seas
are we hearing bombs
blasting through waters
“maybe dynamite fishing”
shrimp boats out to sea
one scoop for four clams
remember cone was ten cents
forty years before
daddy paid one buck
fed his family of four
two hot dogs a piece
and then you make five
four dollars for one hot dog
when you came along
move your bloomin a _ _ _
says eliza dolittle
flowers on your bum
your kind grandmother
fish chips and baked potato
and my grandmother
played little piggy
always mashed baked and french fries
they make pulkulees
then she squeezed your cheeks
calling you cunninhora
shana madala
apparently now
it’s time for jimmy buffet
marguerittaville
