Irwin,
died of a heart
attack
while driving
his Cadillac
to the liquor store
in Tenley Town,
because it was cheaper
by a nickel
for Candian Club whiskey
than in Arlington,
she decided to move to Miami.
I don't need all
these fur coats, she told me.
it's hot there.
take your pick, she said.
i stared at the racks
of fur coats in her garage.
a virtual zoo of dead animals
hanging on racks.
rabbit, fox, bear, mink
and leather.
kangaroo?
some with heads,
the eyes dark and black,
every time Irwin cheated on me
he bought me a new fur
coat, she said.
take one, take a couple,
one for your wife,
maybe one for your girlfriend
too.
