Visitor
back to the crime scene
adrenaline
hands shaking
they say
God is everywhere
well he isn’t here
unless he is me
Beetle
I am not
your friend
I will kill
again
Killer
a killer
watches his crime scene
from the crowd
you will never have
as much fun
as he is having
Typewriter
Hundreds of pages
of typed paper
containing the
same one line
repeated
“I’d do it all again.”
