Second Wave Raid:
I realized I should probably
Skip karaoke when I got 7/8ths
There, crossed against the light
In front of Buffa's
And heard myself shout
At a car speeding past:
“Fuck you! My house got
raided again today; what’s
your excuse for
driving like an asshole?!"
Kate says it’s wise to honor
My body’s need for rest. I said
That sounds much better than
“I’m gonna pass out on cheap whiskey.”
They dragged me out naked.
They held a gun to Kate’s head. We joked
They had to sit down to piss
And wanted to see naked ladies
Without having to pay any cover.
The people I love most
Saw me at my
Worst the following
Morning. Naked covered in
Vomit, vomiting on the
Driveway, red dye
Smeared around my temples.
But they understood.
This is why I love them.
This is why I happily pitch
Sour cream adorned with red mold.
Parading James in handcuffs
The cops randomly ran our names.
The story uniquely
Mine, but not only my
Story to tell, I watched
Dave kicked in the small
Of the back through the
French doors when he was
Already supine on the floor.
I saw Tony forced to sit
On the ground-fractured
Pelvis, broken wrist. They
Guffawed, confiscating
The N.O.P.D. sign in the driveway
Somebody fished out of the trash.
I thought it was 8:33.
I misread my phone,
it was actually 6.
I'd already put the coffee on.
I'd already composed
A letter to California.
I couldn't sleep with caffeine
Molecules bouncing,
Sirens wailing in the distance,
So I did what I came here to do.
I wrote.
The Google sidebar advertised:
Very Funny T-Shirts
Birthday Gag Gifts
Hilarious Coffee Mugs
Movie Quote T-Shirts.
I searched the text but couldn't
Pinpoint keywords.
I don't want to buy a funny T-Shirt.
It's not fucking funny.
I just don’t feel safe in my home.
Later Nick arrived with explosive
Bouquets, apologizing.
"Hallmark doesn't make
'Sorry you got raided' cards."
Who do you turn to for
Protection when those sworn to serve
And protect break
Your door down with
Machine guns and German Shepherds,
Drag you out sleeping,
Hungover,
Mock your vocation, leave
Bootprints by your broken locks,
Refuse to reimburse you for repairs?
