I had a dream
more like a nightmare
I was walking down a
lights-out road let/s
just say Parkview street
a police car drove by
knew what would come
next so I threw the
fire & waited; the brake
lights came on &
the car hit reverse
& next thing I knew I
ran for my life
& I was panting,
jumping over fences
an abandoned
house came into view
its broken window made
a nice entrance
I huddled in an
empty corner while more
cops arrived on
the scene getting REAL
close; patrolling; creeping
through yellow yards
it was a matter
of time; damn, why the hell
did I run; flee
the scene; though there was
no scene from which to flee
a felony
so I sauntered out
before they found me; tried
apology
they drug me back to
the car; smacked my head off
the hood; chipped teeth
tombstones buried in
pink soil; thanks Gunslinger
these guys must think
that they/re king; then my
friend drives by & parks down
the street & starts
to record with his
phone camera this now
turned travesty
they arrest him &
he/s charged with obstructing
next we/re sitting
in county; cop comes
up & asks me, Why did
I run? I tell
him, Cops freak me out
& scare me. He says, There/s
no worry if
I/d done no wrong. I
smile through my bloodied teeth.
