Bill Kushner in Court Green

 

Film Noir

from Court Green #1I said "I've got my sweet insides
taped up from laughing so much.
Want to come over and shoot me?"
I meant tinkling ice cubes but what
if he took me serious & brought
a real gat? He said Come in deep
purple, but nah I put on my most
vivid orange & showed up drunk
what always seemed to do the trick
before. The right side of me wan-
ted him dead. That night, he parted
me right down the middle and just
guess what with? Out the side of
that ugly mug, just a single smile,
lug shot from the hip, and I was his.
