    Back in the day
    when I was still a teenager,
    I wore a watch for a while.

    It was handy, I suppose,
    Knowin' Da Time,
    though it hardly mattered.

    If someone ever asked me,
    do you know what time it is?
    I could just look at my watch
    and say, yeah, I do.

    Or if I was waiting for a bus,
    I could hold out my wrist
    for everyone to see,
    and say, friggin' bus shoulda bin 'ere
    ten minutes ago, at least.

    And then everyone would gawk
    into their own watches,
    and shake their heads in dismay,
    cursing their naïve expectations.

    Sure, it was handy, once in a while,
    but other than that...?

    Listen up, he says,
    I know what I'm talking about.

    If yer gonna be believing
    in the wrong god,
    ya may as well be believing
    in no god at all.

    Capisce?


    Yeah sure, that's what he says.
    But here's the thing.

    He's not Sicilian, he's not even Italian,
    and he's not in the Mafia, neither,
    and yet he always says, Capisce?
    every time he gets the chance.

    Like, what's all that about, eh?
