addicts
the junkie at the spanish kfc is asking for money again / he asks first in spanish / then english / in between he offers russian / he is desperate / he must be smart / tattoos of spider webs on the back of each elbow / his blonde hair greasy with drug sweat / I wonder when his parents saw him last / kicked him out first / I wonder what russian girl he must have slept with / what beautiful american he must have dreamt about / if that pin-up girl he has / on the fleshy inside part of his upper arm / was someone he loved / or wanted to love
