Hi Chaaz,
I like the edit. It's more direct. I like that it calls out the lobotomy. I like how the structure's more consistent. So, of course my one comment will foul that up.
I think you may want to change the lines around in this strophe:
That's it Willy,
you beautiful black bastard,
move those arms wobble those legs,
in a spittle stained T-shirt and polyester pants.
[/quote]
I think your line 4 here needs to be your line 3. Options for keeping the line consistency:
1. Cut and polyester pants
2. Blend the pants into the wobble those legs phrasing
Just something to think about.
Best,
Todd
