Anselm Brocki

“See,” Louis says
standing still with one
foot out in front of him,
his hands gripping
the lapels of his suit
coat like a male model,
to Harvey seated
in an All-NIte booth.
“Everything I have on
didn’t cost me a nickel,
and it took me only
two days shopping
in the trash bins
behind apartments
where outraged women
threw out the clothes
of their lovers¡all-wool,
Italian-tailored coat,
gabardine slacks, even
this gold medallion,
and these Adidas¡
only the laces I did
have to pay a buck
fifty for. I really feel
good being all dressed
up, like in Chicago.
I get tired of seeing
all the homeless guys
out here in shorts,
sandals and those
dirty tank tops.”
