The Best Witness(Inspired At Starbucks#7)
That little Cacti sitting in the
Nevada sun, was the best witness
sitting along the tarry black
gravel road
watching
waiting
night and day, it stares
seeing all
it has seen it all
the husbands coming home from
work and a session of banging
the secretary
it has seen it
the gang taking that poor
schmuck, shooting, hacking
and dumping in a stale grave
it has seen it all
the howling and screaming
the commotion of the desert
chilling every fiber
until the sun shines
heating everything, including the Cacti
the best witness
