POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS

Another world beyond the yellow tape:
Chaos and smoke, confusion, blood, and pain
A wreckage of souls, cigarettes, and beer
Grim death encompassed within appointed bounds.

Some order on this side the yellow tape:
Cheeseburgers and fries, sodas in paper cups
MePhones uplifted in Hitlerian salute
Recording the pagan chant: “***!”

Sung by life’s postulants surprised to see
Another world beyond the yellow tape
