Mutton Chops and Mullets

 

Last Month, Big C was ordered to shave off his mutton chops.

Today, in the locker room, he was threatening to grow a mullet.

We'll see.

 

 

 

Two Eagles

 

Tonight, in the West Village,

at the edge of the bluff,

I watched two eagles

turn in tight spirals,

flying, fighting

to chase the other's tail.

Quote of the Day:

An officer's greeting 
as we walked 
into the locker room
prior to the start of shift,

"Another Happy Day in Happy Land."

Court Attire

Today, A young man attended traffic court

in his I Love Haters hoodie.

Last week, a young woman wore a low cut blouse revealing

a tattoo of a baby's foot print on the top of each breast.

 

Defunct Dispo Codes

With the introduction of the new CAD system, these Dispo Codes are now obsolete.

 

 

 

 

Spaneching

 

 

Spaneching: The aggressive panhandling by street kids for money in the downtown core.

 

 

Overdose

 

A coed is overdosing on alcohol

in the basement bathroom

of the student union 

of the local liberal college.

 

I begin to walk in to aid Fire

until the EMTs arrive,

when second coed stops me.

 

“You don’t need to go in there.”

 

She locks eyes.

 

I take a breath.

 

I don't need a beef.

Fire is medical trained.

It’s a small space.

I don’t need to be there,

if fire’s there.

 

Then, I smell the bile:

a stomach emptied again and again

until there’s nothing left,

but the body still wants to purge more.

 

Works for me. 

 

I wait to escort in the transport EMTs.
