Cops and Robbers

Cops and Robbers
 

Climbing up the dirt hill out
behind the house they’re putting up
in Krupka’s lot, Tom found two pellets
 
in the iris changed things more
than doctors at the time forecast.
Today Tom blinks a lot
 
and fears big crows 
may swoop at any time
and supper on the other eye.
