He Actually Had a Beautiful, Twirly Handlebar Moustache
The picture printed on his funeral sheet
Is almost nothing like the man. He wears
A coat and tie. They make him look as neat
As some square ’50s guy who never swears
And never even smokes tobacco, much
Less dope. He’s smiling sweetly and that’s fine
But no small sparkle in it gives so much
As hints of cleverness. There’s little sign
Of his intelligence (so wasted on
Cocaine). The photo doesn’t show the tracks
Of needles up his veins or what a Don
Juan Charles was or how his morals were lax.
..It doesn’t show the Christian that he was.
….Most weird of all . . .he’s wearing chin beard fuzz.
