matthew estvanic
on the stoop
in the way of all upstanding, young,
future republican party card-carriers
i always see the 'ol boys standing,
idle, in front of the frat house
next to the cracking college town lane.
i wonder if they know, care,
that they are the real porch-monkeys.
observations in a student union
the eyes & the voices &
the pock-marked faces &
the smell of mcdonald's breakfast &
the fleeting glances & complaints &
a man who's shirt is too tight &
tony the tiger & hipsters &
loose women & hangovers &
solitary people & four-legged beings &
gossip & jesus & a camera &
matthew john anthony estvanic &
machines & laughter & marijuana &
epithets & pretty lips & cellular phones &
eyeglasses & sneezes &
twin sisters without their twin &
a striking woman & paint on the ceiling &
her muslim clothes & crushed papers &
sinead o'connor & the newspaper &
all tomorrow's parties &
matthew john anthony estvanic
bronx funeral
i am george clinton's throat
singing to liberate myself
from the oppressive nature
of the murders of percussion.
b-boys made noise
but only the music was heard.
and as the music dies...
i guess i'll dance
until the record skips.
