What’s Up
Duddy wakes up from a nap and takes things seriously
for a change. Luther’s mad as hell cuz he can’t change
Jews into Christ-huggers. Junior’s out chugalugging
Gatorade laced with vodka. Mom’s in the kitchen
roastin’ taters. Uncle Joe’s up on the roof, banging
his head on the skylight. The dog’s asleep on the bath-
room floor. Auntie Vanessa’s putting on her face again.
Wherever we go we is with us. Nobody knows the color
of sky. The trouble I’ve seen. Uncle Moses has taken
to parting his hair in the middle nowadays. No one to
blame but himself. Melanie’s sister’s hung out to dry.
It’s the best of time, the worst of times. Tempus fidgets.
