ARE YOU WITH ME ON THIS PEOPLE?
  
  THE MAN WITH THE WOMAN HEAD
  POLINESIAN WALL PAPER
  MADE THE FACE STAND OUT
  A MIXTURE OF ORIENTAL AND EARLY
  VAUDEVILLE JAZZ POOFTER
  FORMING A HARD BEETLE LIKE
  TRIANGULAR CHIN MUCH LIKE
  A PRAYING MANTIS
  SMOKY RAZOR CUT
  LOW ON THE EAR NECK PROFILE
  TO FACE THE COLOR OF THE NICOTINE STAINED HAND
  DARK CIRCLES COLLECTED UNDER THE
  WRINKLED, FOLDED EYES
  MAP-LIKE FROM TOO MUCH TURQUOISE EYEPAINT
  HE SHOWED HIS OLD TONGUE
  THROUGH ILL FITTING WOODEN TEETH
  STAINED FROM TOO MUCH OPIUM
  CHIPPED FROM THE YEARS
  THE FEET BROWN WRINKLES ABOVE STRAW LOAFERS
  A PIECE OF COCONUT IN A PINK SEASHELL
  CAUGHT THE TONGUE AND KNOTTED INTO
  THIN WHITE STRINGS
  CHARCOAL GREY EISENHOWER JACKET
  ZIPPED INTO A LOAD OF GREEN ASCOT
  A COIL OF ASHES COLLECTED ON THE
  WHITE ON YELLOW DACS
  FOUR SLENDER BONES WITH RINGS AND NAILS
  ENDURED THE WEIGHT OF A
  HARD FAST BLACK RUBBER CIGARETTE HOLDER
  I COULD JUST MAKE OUT ACE
  AS HE CARRIED THE TRAY AND MOUTHED
  "YOU CHEAP SON OF A BITCH"
  AS A STRAW FELL OUT OF A COKE
  CARTWHEELED INTO THE GUTTER
  SO THIS WAS A DRIVE-IN RESTAURANT IN HOLLYWOOD ETC.
