Broke Down Downtown

A lifeless body laid face down on the back alley wet sidewalk. This time of night no ones around especially now at three o’clock. I’m here because my car broke down Otherwise I wouldn’t be found dead in this place. I hail from uptown. Here, downtown, murder is widespread Someone is always getting killed: Prostitutes, druggies and the like Thinking about it gives me chills. Man! I wish I had my road bike I’d flee this jungle battlefield. For now, better keep my eyes peeled.
