Hard-Boiled

 

A misspent life has led me here

after a night immersed in another's blood 

and on the lam with just pocket change

to show for all that planning!

Instead of a scram...

I find myself breathing a soft sweet smell.

Naked to the world in the arms of  a psychopath

Doris, the softest, drop dead gorgeous

dame a lunatic like me could ever find.

Head spinning to the senses aroused from the deep

I fall comatose ,with a grin.

The roar of my shotgun brings me to life!

"Doris you crazy bitch!"

all 5 feet of soft milky flesh is pumping

a 12 gauge out the window!

"Fuck"

They found me...man I love that Woman!
