at the end
of Casablanca
Bogey and
the French cop
start a beautiful
friendship (of
a homosexual
nature no doubt.)
the bullet went in
through the back
of Bugsy Siegel’s
head, his eye
hit the wall
across the room.
i remember
my grandfather
bald with
a Hitler mustache
the same fiery eyes
drinking vodka
and eating raw
onions like they
were apples
dead of heart
failure at age 69.
he was
an atheist.
