Broken Down

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 carbroke 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.
