-Dream-fisher-


Anybody see my oldman?
Pallid-skinned
Shallow breather,
Last seen
Below the saline's drip.
Anybody see him?

Smooth talker.
Corporal ranked MP
Ice boy
    Coal boy
        Milk boy
            Pin boy

Hair thick as raw cotton
Combed at the shuttle-
Looms.

Bundle-runner
Stickball wonder
Baseball shagger
Lanky speedster
Blood-tied
Close to home.
Close to heart.

Street-smart
Wise-guy
Church-goer
Ledge diver
Jury rigger.
You see him?

Camel to Luckies,
Pall Mall
To Chesterfield. 
Ladies man
Man's man
Soft-edged
Glad-hander
Corner-dweller.
Husband.
Father.
Honorarium certified.

Young man.
Sales-man.
Benchseat Romeo.
Backseat to nobody.
Anybody see him?

Gentleman.
Dream-fisher.
Fast as hell up the first base line.
See him?

Anybody see this guy?
Anybody see my oldman?
