In the days of the Red Scare,
   Film Noir & the Spanish Civil
War, those folks smoked,
    drank & ****** w/ the best of
them but they did it w/ panache
         & made great literature;
               today they do it w/ cell
  cameras & it's painful to watch.
In the golden age of the silents
those folks smoked, drank, ******
& laughed but u couldn't hear them!
but u could see ******* & more
when they bent over in their
      floppy permanent waves,
  thin slips & no bras or taking their
  stockings & bra off w/ no *******;
there were bombshells before
there were bombs,
get into that;
there were blondes before blondes;
get that, how do u get racism out of
beautiful towheaded children;
      everyone else someone else
from somewhere else; rag merchants
raised in the shetl,      lower east side
& Harlem   making moving pictures
w/ pretty shiksa girls on the roof
getting them to play dress-up &
       take their clothes off to this day
