Bobby Milk & Nose Whiskey

"...Scorsese broke kneecaps in the name of realism..."

Bobby Milk & Nose Whiskey

Woody Allen made movies
by New York
for New York
as my father brushed his teeth
from left
to right
and my mother
quaffed her
hair

and Scorsese
broke kneecaps
in the name of realism
everywhere

while the Zeppelin
landed in America,
Nixon was run out
of office

and Donna Summer
got into the nose whiskey
something heavy
and made records
only total douchebags
could dance
to.
