with hate and high velocity
the bullet bounced off the gable wall
meeting flesh and bone
with a sickening wet thud
the boy fell to the pavement
twitching
innocence once more
bathed in blood
and someone screamed; oh jesus!
someone got a priest
I watched a green jeep
take a corner too fast
and my hate
increased...
Louis P. Burns aka Lugh (the owner of this wonderful website catering to artists, filmakers and writers) drinks loads of coffee, stays up 22 hours a day providing this service and believes in reinventing the art of busking for the digital age. Buy the poor soul a coffee and if you're feeling extra generous, a doughnut. Go on. You know it makes sense.
