blacksonavitch blues
he was black
with a jew fro
he was the black dog
of jews in the ghetto
someone told me recently
you can’t use that word all pc +idiocy
just watch me
a friend’s parents fought Germans at Warsaw
another’s screamed in the suburban night nightly
and i can’t say ghetto!
back to blacksonavitch regal 27 inches at the withers
black eyes + pawnails not standard issue he was
hybrid
humanpoodle rode a toboggan hide+seek a fave
except we always knew where to find him same closet
where love letters hidden +found
blacksonavitch why is she having an affair with our
greasy elvis doctor? blankstare +sphinx tiny smile
c’mon child you’ve seen enough for one day lets play!
the game: here lies blacksonovitch covered in small bro’s
vomitous blanket he was a fine man the real dogfuneral
10 yrs later
the stain of his body burned into cork floor dogtattoo
he visits still cut to scene in heaven blacksonovitch (verst in yiddish)
+ father driving around in a green impala circa 1972
