Alphabet Takes the Lead
Blinking A calling all cars
Annoying D barking incessantly
Where is the C on this distorted musical scale?
Bare breast in my face, I zip my mouth into woodwork.
B for breast, not breasts, as there is only one here.
Cut away from the body, so I doubt she lived
Whoever she was. Bloody business this alphabet.
It comes to me often, insisting.
I stay off the side streets, for they are murderer’s fodder.
Blinking A does not stop any cars tonight.
The predators are on foot. Killing P, M, O, and J
In alleys behind dumpsters. The world has gone ape sh*t mad.
