Revised sonnet #528
A Russian Jew alit at Brighton Beach
New York via Tel Aviv once penny poor
I graduated to grifter selling ore
To emigres I skimmed as shill in reach
In passport photo fake Im blonde as bleach
Ive copied Boris Arctic Circle vor
I matchmake man and postal order whore
Its sweet a lonely loser linked to leech
True decadence our diner Rizzputin
The caviar gourds of gold to overspill
The snail egg cups of gold to overkill
I count up gold teeth should the greedy grin
The Georgian emigres theyve come this far
I sniff tea off the steaming samovar
Chorus far distance range
