–the Seidman sisters

known as the "Vodka twins"

during the "No Wave" commotion

deserved a life of their own.

sure, they were grungy hardliners

but dressed-up very well

and there’s a soft quality to them

when exposing their legs beneath the slits

of their everyday gowns.

I was told by a bystander

that they were hired to be on-stage

bodyguards for Lydia Lunch who

by the looks of her didn’t need bodyguards.

one kick of those meaty nylon legs and the perp

would be out cold on the dance floor.

I haven’t made up my mind as to whether

or not the Seidman sisters could be referred

to as "eye-candy"–– but I've seen photos

of my younger self taken by others and

I wonder if I would've been eye-candy

to the "Vodka twins".

that is before they killed me.

that is after having their way with me.
