THE MEAT RACK
Mather Schneider
I know a man
who owns a bar
and it is really more of a
shrine to himself
framed photographs of himself
along side famous boxers
and actors and politicians
all over the walls
with newspaper clippings
of when he ran for mayor
and photos of himself crossing the finish line
of the New York Marathon
I’m not sure how this guy happened
to have a camera at every
moment of his life
but
there it is
and he’s apparently know a lot of
artists
because several portraits of himself also
adorn the place
he has this special deal:
if you get a brand of his face
on your arm
you will get a twenty percent
discount on drinks for
life
not free but
a twenty percent discount
the brand is the size of a
half dollar
this is what we have to be
proud of
in our
great civilization
