Moving Day

Some things are said

I wonder if I missed any clues?

A clear picture would be nice

Not because I thought of it

Because a clear picture

A well-framed metaphor

Would help explain this horror

Create a moving day

Cisco & Poncho

18 & 22

Couldn’t load a van 

With fresh air

Seemed nice enough

But proved to be

Otherwise

They murdered a Pulitzer 

Prize winning writer

Who lingered a little too long

On the platform to a train

I lit their cigarettes on moving day

Oblivious to their passions or their crimes

Cisco & Poncho got life in prison

For hacking up the writer

I learned to think twice about people who are close friends

They barely made the papers
