Point/Counterpoint

by Lawrence Gladeview

“where do you
see yourself
in five years
mr. gladeview?”

cussin’ the dog
n
hollerin’ at my wife

“i will be blunt
mr. gladeview,
according to your
breath you’re an
alcoholic, and from
your stench i’d
figure you for a bum”

according to the
absent ring with
corresponding tan line
you’re an adulterer, and
from YOUR stench i’d
figure it ain’t the
blue bird next door, but
rather the whores in
the skid row gutter

“welcome aboard
the school staff
mr. gladeview,
the lunch lady position
is all yours.”
