After the razor knife fight<\/p>\n
The ladies stood looking one at the other<\/p>\n
Heavy breath blowing vapor in the late night chill<\/p>\n
One Cuban and fat<\/p>\n
The other skinny and black<\/p>\n
Their glares cut more than the knives had<\/p>\n
Blood dripping on the asphalt outside a strip mall grocery<\/p>\n
We do our thing and make it safe<\/p>\n
Investigatin’ and mitigatin’ and decisioning and what-not<\/p>\n
Trying to make sense of the battle before us<\/p>\n
Cuban lady don’t want to press charges ’cause<\/p>\n
She will get the bitch later<\/p>\n
Skinny black lady don’t either but suddenly she agitates begins to spit and yell and curse<\/p>\n
It appears any moment the re-attack is iminent so I grab her and<\/p>\n
Pat<\/p>\n
Her<\/p>\n
Down<\/p>\n
You know, to make sure there are no more knives to cut, stab, slash, or otherwise open up a person like a lost letter<\/p>\n
She wears a lime-green pantsuit, 70’s style, with wide lapels and bell-bottoms<\/p>\n
I feel some strange lump on her right hip<\/p>\n
Could be a bag of dope?<\/p>\n
Nope.<\/p>\n
She screams at me<\/p>\n
“THATS RIGHT MOTHERFUCKER I DEFECATED MYSELF”<\/p>\n
And stamps her right foot three times on the pavement causing<\/p>\n
A perfectly round turd to fall out of her pants and sit accusingly on the black-top<\/p>\n
It was the perfect weapon<\/p>\n
We were all defeated<\/p>\n
We let her go<\/p>\n
She earned it<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
