'Look at all these gadgets. You press a button and factories go up.  Or you pick up a telephone and tankers set out for Persia.  Or through a Dictaphone you say, "Buy all of Cleveland and move it to Pittsburgh."  You must be clever.' ~~ Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina in "Sabrina"



Arizona, you've got a lovely daughter
and she has her bobby back,
her bonny, doll drod,
bathroom buddy back,

she's a thin, worn out horse,
wicked harridan,
decaying strumpet, that ill
favoured girl

but she has her bobby,
her song of Baltimore,
and Latin words,
deliver light from light

she has her scorecards of
sex.gossip.death,
blaring fishwife rows,
evening news jaunts
her code, her ESP,
public waving,
first person waving,

she has her feast of night
loudly weeping, shouting,
"I'M WITH EVIL"

she has her tight purple sweater,
melon breasts,
fastened black stockings,
flesh touching God,
bathroom walls,
"HE WAS A FAKE"

yes, now she knows what
the morning means,

what twenty years means,

and how social networking sites
can find your ex ...
the one you had an abortion with,
the one who lost his wife in a fatal accident.

By God, she's got her bobby back.
