I wanted statement glasses
not ones that just differentiate
where my head and my ass is
something truly great

she didn’t blink
what about these James?
she said – whaddya think?
holding out frames

as heavy and square as a brick
thick black and crazy
the kind you’d see in a flick
by Martin Scorsese

they’re funny, specksy
she said – I adore ya
you look like Joe Pesci
is that statement enough for ya?
