Some Stories, Real Life Stories
well this is the story about elvis
(Not Presley) and about Michael (not Jackson)
and a certain Jean
(not a man, not the Sartre that you
have read)
it is like the story of that bitch
who gave birth to six puppies all in different colors
from different dogs
in the neighborhood, well, she is very protective of
her produce
she exhibits her sharp teeth and goose-flesh skin
when a would-be-spectator comes along
ready for the kill
just like Elvis when his son Michael
was hit with a fist blow by this Jean
it was just a minor injury, a scratch,2 mm of slit
on the wrist or was it on the cheek
nothing of a deformity but what Elvis did
was to stab Jean with a double jagged edged
stainless knife and
kill him
a case of father Elvis
overprotective of son Michael
and so now he is in jail
but look at his face and his grin
a very proud father
having loved his son that much that he would be ready
to give his life
only for a 2mm scratch on the cheek
of his well-loved son
of a bitch.
