Patriotism - 9/11

Gray zoot-suit, pinstripe loud.
Caligula alligator.
American flag pin on the lapel.
Chewing tobacco and a paper cup.
Spit.
Situation, balding and reading glasses.
Chew.
You're no spring chicken,
American, now.
Spit. Repeat.
You've seen better days.

Six.

Clothes are wrong
and the air feels right.
I just want to be,
be butt naked and free.
