13,458. I'VE DRAWN

I'VE DRAWN
These guys were all legends: and
this photo-gallery shows them all.
Dillinger, Moran, Capone and Siegel.
I'd suppose if they were ever in one
place together, it would have been
murder to bear. 
-
In any case, they drew their time
time, and I've drawn mine. Death 
erases nothing but the harsher ends
of memory's stepkids. Those big,
round cars they drove in? Cool.
-
When I was 12 I got an eraser for
my birthday. I found it erased
nothing  -  but just made the past
more vivid with each scratch-line
I'd rub.
