Funny, how he got away with things:
the funny way he walked and talked,
what he told people to their faces
Funny, his obvious nose, the six digits
on both feet he liked to show little kids
to amaze them
Funny how he could make an ass of someone
with a knowing flip of his wayward hair,
their arrogance, stupidity, opinions,
the clothes they thought they had to wear
to look indifferent, altered their voices
to match the crowd, the way they bragged
by sneaking in a detail or two, worked so hard
to parrot the week’s buzz words
Funny too, a guy who stuttered,
how clear he always was about
what was really going down
