Notes About The Poem

Murder Inc. in Catskill mountains, Southeast portion of New York State, during time of 

great criminal activity during prohibition and a short ime after.

Macabre

MACABRE 

Mayhem like flotsam wood.
Metropolis types out:
Murder. Victim floating -
Marred, strapped to slot machine.
Macabre tourist sight.
Mountains blue, green and RED,
Malice toward fellow man.
