Christopher Barnes
Red Beans & Rice
The courtesy light sparks
in the A-OK taxicab
and the driver's rap
is a gridlock of expletives.
We drag by the manhandling
of a Warhol industrial
- Elizabeth Taylor -
turning a bass ear
to The Philly Dog
on the what's-in on 45
Deliverance Soul Food Restaurant.
Luigi's pointed, "Brian Jones
bareback-bronc-rode
that one and only seat
yesternight
with some nylon wig-hat milady
in Jackie Kennedy Sunday go-to-meeting clothes."
The minutes of Yonkers
are floccinaucinihilipilification*
- a turn and turn about of jump-starts.
And as we hit Sitnik's knockabout car lot
the fender on the 389 auto 4 barrel
Pontiac Bourneville Convertible
shines a big-teethed "Hi, y'all."
