Taylor's Kid



mike lazarchuk



Riding the crosstown
Monday mornings during
Our school years
Taylor would tell us
It was like making it with
Bony Marony or Olive Oyl
Tell us that girl
Was so skinny that after
Being with her over the
Weekend he'd wake up
To get ready for school
Black&blue from
Jumping her rawboned body
Tell us he didn't know
What it was about her
Those pretty blue eyes
The hair the perfect
White teeth only that
It was something
Maybe those fast little
Titties that didn't
Quite jiggle
Taylor went around
With that girl from
9th grade till our
Junior year in High School
When he finally dropped
It all&quit
That girl a couple of
Weeks later saying goodbye
Telling everyone she
Was moving south with her
Family her dad getting
Transferred or something
There were rumors her
& Taylor had moved south together
That they'd rented a shack
Down in Texas because
She was pregnant
& her father had threatened
Taylor's life one night over
Dinner if he wasn't willing to marry . . .
Years later this friend
From my school days who
Recognized me in a bar on the
Lower East Side told me
Taylor had been gunned
Down in Vietnam in '69
Told me that skinny girl Taylor used
To hang with had become a
Ford model&was living on
Central Park West
That once she'd even posed
Naked for Playboy
Told me he'd run into
Her at the Museum of Modern Art
& when he asked her what
Ever became of Taylor's kid
She'd said she just couldn't
Remember that part of
Her life at all
