Who chants your name on the Casbah?
Who carries you home and bites your shoulder,
and somehow forgets which street to turn down?
Who sings just the chorus of "Desperado"?
Who stole your kitchen table
and put it out on the street
among the trash day treasures?
Is it Hortense Howell?
Mr. Mustafa?
Tony Pentangeli?
Vaclav Havel?
That girl in your first grade class
who pushed you down and laughed
until you threatened
to have your big brother beat her up
after school let out?
