mold

went down to get a
six-pack at the bar
a little while
ago and
there was a huge
fat guy sitting
in the corner
on a stool
chirping to himself

big fleshy triangular
guy
sitting there
like a
mushroom
chirping away
among all the
town guys
and hairspray
chicks

I got my six
said words to
the bartender
paid
and walked toward the
door

as I pushed it open
I heard the mushroom
shriek “HEY! YOU KNOW WHO
LED THE PHILLIES IN
STEALS IN ’91?”
and I thought:
thank god for
home and for my
front door key
that works

there isn’t enough
booze in that bar
to make that guy
tolerable
and besides
I can’t stand
mushrooms:
sauteed, steamed,
or shrieking
