The Washington Post

He was born, bright, and bald
during an eclipse
and peek-a-booed over his crib
like a helium balloon gone sour
watching the world rush by.

He spent his adult life
skulking around outhouses
docks and subways--
always a bit shy but
hanging on for life.

As patron saint of loiterers
graffiti artists and GI's
he's been around: from Palestine
to Manila, Saigon to Kuwait.

He's the voyeur whose eyes roll like a tongue
He's the witness who won't get involved
He's the outsider who doesn't fit in
He's the bad habit you can't shake.

Imagine a frown or smirk
as he lives on in the dirty joke
told in mix company
this cartoon gargoyle pondering
the parenthesis of our lives.
