Citation For Life? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

George Morales was in deep trouble.
He disregarded the numerous citations that were on his minivan,
Which were posted because he did not pay attention to the
- No Parking signs,
That was not the only thing that burst his bubble
Under the Brooklyn-Queens Bridge in New York the authorities found this man,
--DEAD!
'The window was cracked open. I don't understand how no one noticed him.
-They just gave him tickets, ' the decedents daughter, Jennifer Morales, later said.
George’s body was badly decomposed during the June of 2009.
What about the meter people, could they have no sense of smell and be blind?
They were littering his windshield with unending tickets,
Some of which were pasted together, you couldn’t tell them apart.
George, was quite literally separated for you see,
'In the autopsy, they said they just found skeletal remains, no organs, only his heart.'
