Double Down In The Jewel Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

Double Down In The Jewel



The kid walked through the doors
thar slid open at his approach

No shopping cart
nothing but a forty-four
magnum in his jeans

He blew away
the myopic clerk
making change
at the ATM

On his way out
he paused for an old lady
pushing her cart
and an undercover cop
blew him away

You can see the bloodstains
on the brick wall outside
and the graffiti mourning him
