8607. LOOSE THE TIE-DOWNS

LOOSE THE TIE-DOWNS
I walk through this town with my
guns held high. There's a New York
City bastard on every corner I see.
-
The Paki guy is washing blood off the
front of his taxi. Hell yeah, I should ask,
but I won't. He'll just get mad again.
-
There's a loosened lock on Patchin Place;
I'm thinking I can get in  - Backpedaler 
Joe and me, that John Reed bastard too.
-
Tuesday means nothing in the notebook 
of the dead. My last story was a waltz, 
but in a tango-two-step time. 
oh e. e. cummings, why?
