Covert Poetics

big blonde

getting out of
the squad car
at night

hands cuffed
behind me

wishing that
i was standing
on a corner
under neon
far from here

that the world
would go fuck
itself and die

that the police
woman with
the big ass was
a hooker and
the cuffs and
the outfit were
just a game we
were playing

but then she
wouldn’t have
put ‘em on so
tight.
