French Dip or What?
I like a French dip with a fried egg in the sandwich
Nice and hard and no runny stuff in there with the rainbow beef
So when I dip that baby, I get sourdough, rainbow beef and egg meat
All in one juicy bite
But they always look at me like I’m a moron
At the counter next to me
Jerome sits upon his beans and whimpers to the waitress,
Bekka- short for fucking Rebecca
Things haven’t gone well for Jerome lately
I listen in
Jerome’s Prince Albert’s acting up
He’s got a freaky rash
And he ripped the plutonium stud right through his bottom lip
pulling off his sweater
Gives him a weird look too, it’s a monstrous gash
Jerome’s belly’s knocking hard at the counter
while he chugs a sleeveless tattooed cup of Foldgers
through the funnel that was his lower lip
Loose hand tugging and tickling the lap of his big baggy pants
Itch’n like a shortstop
Untying the Prince from the hitch
But, talking about it all to Bekka like it was his duty
I thought she was going to puke
but she lifts up the blouse from her bleached wobbly belly
And shows Jerome a couple of shower hooks
Gouged though the folds of her navel
“I got some Neosporin at my place” she says enticingly
Jerome smiles and coffee runs back out his trough into the cup
I knew then and there that this was love
It was the beginning of life itself
I knew what things were going to start going well for Jerome
And for Bekka
And for me
I went ahead and ordered the French Dip with the egg
And she didn’t bat an eye
