Gangbusters

  
 	bruised cufflinks, scarred trousers
           bleeding ties, marks of violence bear

        featherless fedora, kicked-in once too often
           lumps and bumps seen ‘midst thinning hair

        life in the cosa nostra’s romanticized
           ~ eviction notices served traumatized
