i.
trying not to be a square, this inane palooka wears
a dreamy set uh green pajamas. daytimes sporting oversized
sunshades and bahamas … cluelessness is everywhere
catapulting through the air … clumps of icky-sticky dandruff
dangle from his hair. birkenstocks betray his feet.
on the street he's falling flat. a not real tasteful concept
this beaded shirt from niger … no it does not complement
his blue and white hilfiger! underneath his button down,
waves of ample guts … profound. "the gossip's buon acquisto,"
he'll say, "this flies off the shelf downtown." ishka bibble,
satiny suede … these high fashion hand grenades are blowing
through the stores and hey, some major bloggers say now
newfangled camo is exploding in the hottest way!
dressing up flesh weaponry in guilded smokescreen corduroy …
as top designers postulate, the style-posturing masturbate.
helpless business owners jawbone, stuck in business meetings.
as their bank accounts are emptied, taking awful beatings …
fashionistas of all stripes jive and overstate their gripes.
truth is really not a thing they're after.
ii.
slower now, these fashion forward flattened wallets are
not sure if they can afford the latest taste of haute couture.
slivers of cilantro … finely shucked on pillbox hat …
with brassy strutting raspberry tarts nylon snapped-in
culinary art, buttoned-up snippity strawberry snood …
welcome, hackneyed fashion statement plates of artificial food!
where bloodlust and insanity are legend …
lighting up with lagerfield saint laurent and gucci,
past the shrieking and deranged murderer of gian versace.
all tooled up to wow the western world, hear fashion lions roar
outrageously that spanish revolution's haute couture!
sawed-off heels on platform shoes, abraham lincoln brigade redo …
monuments to damage, to destruction caused by war!
guernica is all the rage now. arsenal enhanced, these models
troop in single file. as they march the runway floor,
loudspeakers etch-a-sketch the dulcet tones of
james earl bones … letting go his depth-charge blast, supreme
basso profundo … inside ears it resonates, this parting shot
he's volunteered, "hasta la vista fashionista!"
