Policing men and women as they travel to and fro,
You have a thankless duty sure it’s true,
For just as you hate crime many criminals hate you,
But this...

You love to double dare,
double down
Raise the stakes and double the bet
You love to double dip,

Fist smacks chest, I double over.
Pulls my hair, wrenching me up once more.
Imprints his thumbs and fingers bones

Sleeping and snoring loudly
Oh, this "Cupid" couldn't be more different

Sharp piercing pains
rendered me breathless
I double over,
crouching low like a panther.
Fire, searing fiery fire
leaped at my sides,
licking my backside.

I SAW THE TREES LAUGHING

						as it passed by.
				They were whispering jokes to each other,
