We were scoring
on a side street off Halsted
Flaco had come through
His flame tattooed Chevy
had circled the block twice
then stopped for the gathered junkies
We were heading back to
our car
when a police cruiser
appeared like evil
and two plain clothed Hispanics
told us to give up our dope
Lil Jerry cut the talker
across the face
he fell and we stomped him
Those weren’t cops . he said
On the driver’s side
There were bullet wounds in the door.
