My Ode to Democrats

Down on Appleton Street next to the two-bit hooker's redbrick house
the concrete sidewalk is rough from bad weather and years of walking by
and even a penny angled between stoop and walk is a bountiful treasure

Hispanic men with broken English and big dangling cocks ready to be sucked
by too-young bubble-butted chiquitas hooked on the assorted snortables
but not so wasted as to be a waste for the wannabe johns slowing down in Taurus's

"Mammi, Mammi, drag yo ass home," he yells to the bedraggled old lady
pushing her tin carriage like a parade of bells towards her pathetic home down the block. "I am, I am." she says. "Mammi, yo bad for business...hurry!" he laughs at her.

Her welfare check bought her doughnuts and cheap orange juice for the morning
she is so grateful. "Miggie, ya gotta get ridda dat bitch," he says, she hears
"Nah, man, she ok. She ok." and she turns the corner as a red Taurus pulls up to Miggie.

"Where's Alice?" the fat fuck says, "Where's she today?"
"Alice is dead man, but Raquell is down by Tower News. She's only $50, and she make you religious."
"What?"

"hahahaha...you fuck her and you learn all about God, man, all about God," Miggie says.
The Taurus drives off,"He'll be back, man, y'know he will."
An hour later he is, sweating now, and greasier, five or six shots down, and ready

"You don't need Raquell no more man, yer dick will be too soft for that bitch
go talk to Sandy down by the court house, she'll lick ya up solid enough for all ya
need." he turns brighter than his car, says nothing, but heads toward the courthouse.

It's almost late when Mr. Desmond turns off the lights at his insurance company
steps out to the parking lot to find his tires cut and back window smashed,
he calls AAA and the police on his cellphone and waits while he listens to the radio

Miggie nods at the stupid bastard, "Yo Dez -- why you bother man?"
"I dunno, Mig, don't know at all."
"Want some blow?"

"I'm Good," he says.
".... hahahahahahahah.. yeah, you are
you stupid fuck."

The red taurus drops Sandy off, and she wipes some cum from her long red hair
pulls a cigarette from her purse, and walks over,
"Wachoo doin' ta me, that fucker smelled soo bad..."

"You don't like it bitch, then get a fuckin' job and stop takin' my blow,"
Miggie flips her off.
"Ain't no jobs here Miggie...ain't nothin' here no more."

Dez  sighs.
10 minutes later when the cop got there
Miggie, his boy and Sandy were gone.
