Fred Gorgeous

Fred Gorgeous works as a Valet

at a reputable tall hotel

with pools

with marble bathrooms

and those marble bathrooms have marbled ********

marbled sinks where the elderly pinch out blood from their lungs

Fred Gorgeous is balding

he wears glasses

Fred Gorgeous isn't gorgeous at all

Fred Gorgeous listens to love songs in spanish alone

Fred Gorgeous has a Dog

his dog barks at nothing

his dog never sleeps

his dog is ugly too

his dog has brown black eyes and a blue collar

Fred Gorgeous has eyes too

his eyes are green

 

Fred Gorgeous lives in an apartment downtown

Police sirens quake through the city atmosphere like World War 1 **** chemical war fare

Fred Gorgeous submerges himself underwater in his un-marble bath tub

Fred Gorgeous can still hear the Police Sirens

they have tainted the water too

 

Fred Gorgeous was in love once

many times

but mostly once

Fred Gorgeous smokes cigarettes

Fred Gorgeous listens to Spanish music in the afternoon

while the city is at work

while the kids are at school

while the drunks are drunk in drunk encouraging residents

Fred Gorgeous buys cheap wine

3 dollars a bottle

Fred Gorgeous isn't gorgeous at all

Fred Gorgeous is 34 years old

He is bored

He is not tired

He has 3 pairs of shoes

All of them leather

Fred Gorgeous gets drunk and lays in his closet

the size of a Coffin

and smells his shoes

Fred Gorgeous enjoys the smell of leather and shoe polish

Fred Gorgeous isn't special

Fred Gorgeous isn't great

Fred Gorgeous isn't brave

or a hero

Fred Gorgeous isn't anything at all

Fred Gorgeous has a painting of a tornado on his wall.
