Bluto,
at Joe's
seafood stand if this is local
calamari,
or from Asia.
he shrugs his shoulders.
i have no idea, he says.
do you want some?
pound? half pound.
it's on sale.
what is calamari, i ask him.
it's a squid, he says,
slapping his hand against
the bloody counter,
it's a cousin to the octopus.
pound? or more?
they shoot black ink when
they're in danger,
don't they?
i don't know, he says.
yes or no, do you want to buy
some?
what about
chicken, do you sell chicken
here.
calamari is so rubbery,
preferably free range chicken
if you have it.
next, he yells out.
