Gimme Gimme Gimme Fried Chicken

it started twenty-six years ago
in a twisted, cramped recast
bathroom

the sun's rays would perforate 
from the right hand side
window

at first there were no 
implements, neither a
zither

it was just shake a leg
shimmering by the bed
stuff

and not knowing if it
would be punctuated by
taxpayers

things began to change
minacious, more from the
heart 

a clamorous insistence
discovered an obligatory
blowhole

and playing air guitar
in my room with an air mic
floating

pretending to be someone else
