Forty Links of Chain (A Poem)

fox eyes from abilene-garbage poet from the greyhound circuit & who has a feeling for the most lost pieces of frost & boast of glass jaw & grampa playing tiddlywinks & finks in the sinks & the barf & gook in the book of his cook, the ma & he's back in town screwing around with his hairlip down... he needs a dime & writing rhyme You dont have to guess ... you know the rest/ watch his nose! you can see where he goes by offering to pay his dues-fox eyes, he's got lotza blues-Tiny the chick with the wet newspaper, she used to bring french fries to the mechanics & whose right arm once went deaf & dumb (it can happen to some) she sees fox eyes come climbing out of the stop sign & he's got a hangover on top of it & she say "oh great grooby fox eyes. lead me to the garbage" & he take her by the lily white cottonpickin hand & she say "yeah man i be a yellow monkey oowee! "& he say "'us you folly me baby snooks! just you folly me & you feel fine! & she say "giddy up & hi ho silver &i feel irish! & both go off & get a bus schedule & she saying all the time "steady big fella! steady!" while on the other side of the street this mailman who looks like shirley temple & who's carrying a lollypop stops & looks at a cloud & just then the sky, he gets kinda pissed & decides to throw his weight around a little & bloop a tulip falls dead-the mailman starts talking to a parking meter & fox eyes, he say "it sure wasn't like this in abilene" & it's a hurricane & a bus reading baltimore leaves them in a total mess-she falls on her knees & she say "i'm filthy" & fox eyes he say "go back to florida baby there aint nothing here a city grill like you can do" & the chick she does a handstand & she say "i'm canadian! & he say "get outa here & go to florida! "& she starts reciting fox eyes poems about salvation & the loony bin, strikes in the coloring book factory & Christmas when they wrapped him in a shirt & he say "WHOA! GET OUTA HERE! I STEAL YO MONEY OWEE JESUS GRILL I YOU SOME SLUMP!" & she moans & groans & she say "oh i really do love life & love love & love living & he say "grooby! wail! wail! & she say "dont you understand" & she starts making this terrible scene right there in the middle of the street ...Tiny-i met Tiny later at an outrageous party-she was sitting under a clock & i say you need an umbrella, friend" & she say "oh no! no another one! "she's got a new boyfriend now & he looks like machine gun kelly ...fox eyes-he lost all his money in a furnace-when last heard from was riding fast freight out of salinas in a pile of lettuce, still trying to collect unemployment ... me? i made a special trip downtown to get some graveyard figures-but it wasn't raining & there were no buses going to baltimore/ just a broken jawed parking meter, a water logged pen & a bunch of old shirley temple pictures with her neck in a noose was all that i could find. look. I dont care if you are a merchant marine. the next time you start telling me i dont walk right, "I in gonna get some surfer to slap your face. i think you're being very paranoid about the whole thing ... see you at the wedding stompingly yours Lazy Henry
