4909. BLACKSPUR

BLACKSPUR
The man running hides to the tanner, he
knows the very last clue : that cigarette
dangling from his charred face, the hat
on his head, askew. We mention the
intangible motives of passion and crime
only when we must. Lawmen have no
conscience. Yet, here is Detective Doyle
again, asking me ten more questions about
the scene of the crime. 'Why, yes, I was there;
delivering pizza to the nudists next door.'
I laughed as he wrote that down.
Outside the loft-building's
doorway, the police car's
lights blinked like some
unending celebration
was now at hand.
