1 chained the other free
both accept their loss

she walks off the path
to avoid the approaching dog
bites go deeper than skin

Dog shits on grass
I don’t pick it up always
Children have to eat

Barking dogs
Closed
Curtains

Now the
Real feeding
Starts
Every year, people are eaten by their pets once they pass away. 🙀

John Jay fumbled for the gun
Blood wet on his hands
His heart hammers
BANG! BANG!

Shit Stained liars speak
Offering words of wisdom
The polls are open
Specificity is the soul of narrative – John Hodgman

Signs clog the corner
Candidates on active show
The toilets are full
My block is full of signs for local political candidates. All vying for space admist the weeds, trash and flotsam. My dog pisses on them every time we go by. #goodboy

Billiard Ball wouldn’t dare talk
To the cops about ‘Beansie’ Rosenthal
Eventually offering him a chance to walk
If he threw Gyp the Blood and Vallon to the wall
They all worked for top cop Becker
Rat King of Graft in Manhattan
Known to make ‘problems’ disappear
In his control of the crime-ridden metropolitan
They shot ‘Beansie‘ twice in the head
“He’s a goddamn coward and talks too much”
Convicted Lt. Becker for being the lead
Of the late-night killers held in the clutch
By DA Whitman who prosecuted them all
Becker and company electrocuted in Sing Sing
For their murderous conspiracy did fall
As the Underworld of NYC rejoiced reveling
True crime poetry sample. Mining the criminal cases of yesteryear.

Loba is missing now
One Thousand Dollar Bounty
Dog fighting ain’t cheap
This town. So many dogs dumped, lost and thrown into fight rings.
