The reasons of my smile, PART IV
By Jessica Orr
Boom...boom.
a running dash
to the Book Depository;
Officer Grimes knows
he heard it
from this building.
She leans over and kisses
Lee Harvey,
a man as soft as silly-putty
but a key and mechanism
in her love story.
"I'll meet you at our place
where we first kissed", I say;
"Don't be long as minutes are
the British,
and I am by sea"
Lee says.
The beat of footsteps,
the squawk of radio;
Officer Grimes lays crumbled
as I report the suspect
maybe headed for the movie theater.
One last detail,
one last walk;
it never feels good to turn
(invisible);
The contacts are known,
the briefcase exchanged;
I remember giving him
details and the money.
His assassins pull out;
I see them,
amateurs;
tactics of Hammurabi
and Hannibal float
in my brain;
so many armies,
so many lies.
Who am I?
who bores a trail
in shame?
who knows wrong
is everything he is not?
who is a scepter
in shiny malaise?
god must know
and didn't stop it!
I pampered and prepped
and I slit but no matter;
it is happening now,
and I am the hub of it.
(blood seeps but it soon heals,
I pray for compassion but
it's to deaf ears;
oh holy,
release such a girl;
I beg you I am sorry
for all the sin I have done-
created to quiet,
ending in dust)
I am so gallant with my
cigarette;
so stylish to this era,
smoke circles from
my mouth
as the gangster Ruby
pulls the trigger.
Maybe this will be the last,
maybe he will release me;
The car outside
the police garage swerves
when I step in front of it.

@Ortolan...thank you for reading it. I'm writing an Abraham Lincoln one right now. They are just flowing. I'm just fascinated by why our world is so fucked up. Later
