(Richie 1982)
Richie, latchkey spawned
On Uncle Charlie's
Downtown primed
Toilet seat,
-Serviette holder,
-Approached from under
-Ware, supplied
-His asset;
Virtual mascot,
Voice heralded each
Regular's
Arrival;
-Drawn, pictorial
-Facet, jacketed
-Shoulders, Puck
-Derived head;
Break-up survivor,
Bar constellations
Blanketed
By exes,
-Glare remonstrated,
-Consternation trounced
-Once focus
-Turned aside;
Monster cormed crocus
Inseminated,
Telescoped
Conjunction,
-Markings conjectured
-Untamed sacrilege
-Which rebuffed
-Yarmulke;
One-trick pony fluffed,
Flicking dharma of
Potty mouth
Tongue and lips,
-Lyrical glamour,
-Backbench cut away,
-Unwoven
-To remnants;
Grecian heritage,
Youngest of brethren
Catered ass
Consequence,
-Faded Hessian flared,
-Collar angles plied
-His virile
-Posturing;
Performance fostered
Predisposition
To assume
Position,
-Interpretation
-Composed crucible
-Inured to
-Artifacts;
Sordid tales, deep hole
Fed- happy hours-
Downing 'til
Drowning in,
-Wet rat, graffiti
-Tagged, neon signalled,
-Cheated on
-Encasement;
Tag team promised a
Confetti parade,
Not shredded
Underwear,
-Credence upended
-Left vulnerable
-To misread
-Agendas;
Pissed off, publicly
Wedgied then pantsed, it
Brought out worst
Tendencies,
-Obliquely ledgered
-Gullible, rubbing
-Strengthened as
-Survivor.
