Cacuys In our living room

Black eyebrows savage unkempt
like giant weeds atop
deep black caves
worried sweating putrid
beads of poisonous dew
onto my sallow cheeks
Sintese aqui travieso!
and dont peek!
Or MiraCucuy!
Long sleepless nights stomach
Grumbling like construction trucks
In the morning while
choritzo grease wafts
across neighbors lawns
into my bedroom window I clutch
My aching belly at 6 am
Cause theres no milk in the fridge
I shake the lucky charms box
Crumbs in my mouth soak
A few sprinkles of sugar
Like the junkies in the next room
On hands and knees searching
For their white powder
Twitching
Papas still awake eyes-wide
Burning all dirty cursing Pinche!
The rising sun reveals Cacuys
In our living room
Snorting
Cavorting
Bullshitting
They have something but
Nothing in their lives
All night they talked
of makn somting of demselves
They dream about every weekend
For the last twenty years
Lil Johny wants to open a bar
In the East Side where foxy ladies
dance all night lusty
cause he wants to get some
but hes jus stupid all loco and shit
Joker says he wants to go to school
but hes already 50 and a drunk
Hes been saying the same shit
Since his Mecha days in 1982
Tio Wedo just squinted his eyes
Kept doing lines knowing
The other two were clowns
He just loves the drugs
Chale!
I peaked
Was told not to
I saw monsters grinning wide-eyed
Grinding teeth
Tongues smacking lips
Until Abuela picked me up
At 9am
