A Fairly Labored Metaphor
The cruiser was there quickly, the siren coming:
a dim blue light comes on over crackly shellac,
closed the doors and revved the engine. I turned
a guy with me. But just one guy, taking turns
on that the most. Within weeks of his return he'd
growled and steadied itself on the spacecraft
and saw at least a ten dollar tip. When he rang
who threw the kid in jail to scare him
I have no idea how many miles we covered
but that night most of the regulars
didn't try to pursue. He hissed and stomped
who had lately become famous for renouncing crime
that he thought was neither good nor bad.
