E! True Lakeshore Story

Seeing him in such
a 'Hurting' state,
Brought
me 2 Tears! !
I hadn't seen him
in about....
3 or 4 years.

We used 2 hang out
at each others Houses
almost
Everyday!
& Back then,
He was always
So ambitious, Well Dressed,
Cooler than Clift, Cagney, Brando,
Bogart, & Dean!
HE WAS ALWAYS SO HAPPY! !

Always Innovating
some New Style!
Always Laughing! Always Joking!
& Sporting an Ear 2 Ear
SMILE! ! !

But that Day,
that F#cking Day,
that Bloody, Dreaded
Tuesday!
When I spotted him,
with that know Whore!
Scurrying around
On the LAKESHORE! ! !

My Old Friend had a White Sty!
Sitting under his Right Eye!
& He had on No shirt?
He was Missing his front teeth!
& His white pants,
Were Covered in Dirt! ?

He was Peeking, & Sneaking!
Around all Paranoid,
it Looked
like my Dear Old Friend,
Hadn't slept for Days!

& When he walked up,
2 talk 2 me,
under the assassin like watch,
of 2 Cops,
in a White, Red, & Blue Cruiser,
Surveying the Streets!
My Mirrored Sunglasses,
Hid My Watery Gaze!

Like 2 many others, In my old Neighbourhood,
CRACK COCAINE! ! !
....Had Stolen His SMILE?
