DOVES
WHEN DOVES CRY
there was a man who looked so
dangerous we waited until he’d left
before exiting Grand Electric a burbon
+taco joint down the road 1/2 squeegie kid
1/2 Charlie Manson skin pink now pacing in
front of the lcbo desperate for a drink or
someone to dismember
girl in store next door says her boyfriend was
beaten to a pulp last week squeegieman wants
more hipster blood i say to my brother: don’t
look them in the eyes +when they ask for money
say sorry not sorry my friend on this week’s
episode of favourite show our folk hero shot in face
he called his mugger son as in: son this is a mistake
today a guy wears a: what is love? sign a large man naked
to the waist delivers an open handed slap to love-junkie’s
face does he turn the other cheek? hell no he slashes at
the cherry trees only 10 +2 yrs. old fully pink for a week
or so new grass covered in shredded massacre hipsters weep
+sound like doves
