years ago there was a TV commercial
that said – bite me brother,
i’m a chunky
that was a candy bar commercial
that got laughed off the air
and went the way of
free willy
now,
back to now again
i saw three separate ladies
naturally they were separate
there were three of them
it wasn’t a tricycide
or a threeoid
one, two and the other one
not together
just shopping where I could see
absoluteway, there were three
women fortyish
they each wore blue jeans
that is the thing, the jeans
now,
twenty brief years ago
not now twenty ,
then twenty
well, they weren’t brief years either
just seemed that way
say zip
way back then,
there were no supermarkets in Roma
just open markets and small stores
that brief time ago the women
would have worn dresses
and their aunts,
and their sisters,
and Uncle Henry - uncle Henry? what the hell
get him out of . . . oh, he was just trying it on
and the next door neighbors
and their cousins
and their mothers
the lot of them
but now
it’s all blue jeans, TV and cell phones
a new world, baby
paper or plastic?
so beam me
somewhere, please
it’s your pick
i’m set
my jeans are packed
i’m ready to go
ciao ciao, john denver
see ya'roun, clownie
