#cop
On top of old smokey All covered with hair There was a place Where the bear was quite bare He wasn't too shiney He was covered with fuzz So he kept on his cap That's what a fuzzy fuzz does.

Cop Top
a man taught an octopus piano he did it in 6 months it took a little longer than getting a driver's license or becoming a cop not quite as long as a pilot and way slower than having a kid so it was hard sure it took a lot of fish and crab encouragement time 6 months amazing it must have been like having a kid getting an octopus but it took him 6 months to feel like an a octo-parent it takes a captain 3000 flight hours it takes a vote to become Sheriff and i don't know how long it'll take for you to become a good driver but it takes time and maybe after a while after a while of eating time to put effort into a job or craft it becomes a music of its own is music music to an octopus? probably but what it became at first was a gateway to food then an outlet for something that that octopus needed to understand what's the point?

so this is fun
England And Germany Twin sides of the same coin Light and dark the game's the same Two soldiers doing the same job Both would be mortal enemies Yet their stories are the same On a certain type of mission Getting the same result Like it's a scripted storyline The hit man and the cop Telling exactly the same story Each eradicating the ****** Not a tale I made up but real Or so they say to me What do you think?

England And Germany
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil That means I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, so don't ask me questions You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Unless it is what you wanted me to tell you.

Maybe I got it wrong
Stop all the cars. Shut down the coal. Prevent Big Oil from dumping its ***** load. Shake up complacency And pull out the stops: Let our leaders lead. Nature, You are North and South and East and West; Our sanctuary At God’s behest. The time is now to transform our ways, So warming ends, Now and always. Simon Piesse

Cop 26 (After Auden)
Date an Air Hostess and U shall fly, First Class on Her Flight. Date a Lady Teacher and She will Teach U, how to Read and Write. Date a Poetess and She will Compose U, A Poem filled with Verses. Date a Lady Doctor, U will be attended by all Her Pretty Nurses. Date a Lady Cop and U shall find Yourself, behind Bars. Date a Female Alien and U will land Yourself, on Saturn or Mars.

Dates, Dates and Dates
City cops, either all pigs or all fathers, break cement curbs with rubber as the shin of a warm body brushes a front bumper; warning sign clearer than headlights. I stand arrested across the highway. An idle ghost, mouth agape, eyeballing the Record Courier parking lot, officers breaking cement breaking kneecaps of a civilian. Where he kisses the ground I once analyzed the black of the sun, diseasing slowly from time and the light. I soaked the now with a present mind and active heart, living for life defined by want. I recall Impressionist interpretations of Carson Valley sitting on the windowsill of the Courier, a hand wrapped around my wrist using its nails to pick off my skin naively, so I’ll bleed out through my scabs and my corpse will be captured in that moment. Handcuffed, legs pressed between my shoulder blades, but seconds still pass. Divorced from a faded past, I wait until three uniforms shove a man into the backseat and drive to the station. We’re now shadows of our former selves in the lights of a cop car, separated from when our heartbeats were the loudest.

Police brutality as a metaphor for growing up
News announced today "cop kills a man in his own home". Mistakes his apartment for hers, mistakes him for a burglar or an easy target! My Granny says "I bet she is white and he was black"? She used was since Botham is dead. Granny says "cops killing black body has been normalized since forever". Three days later the news releases her name and photo. My Granny was right. She is a white woman with Klansman's robes for eyes looking to **** a black man.   Amber tell me did you sit in your car for 15 hours carving Botham's name on the bullet that killed him before going to his apartment? Did you want his apartment to reflect the same color as the red mat in front of his door? Oh, you didn't notice that, or did you just decide to take a shot in the dark, while Botham was in his home resting effortlessly? It was too dark for you to see that was not your apartment, but lit enough to see him to shoot him in his chest. Amber, I bet your heart is cut from the same cloth as your mother's "All Lives Matter" Tee Shirt. Botham's Mother says his heart was made by angels.

*The red light’s red but I’m turning right, The coast is clear – no cars in sight. I make the turn and I make it slow On the corner sat a huge cop on his hog. Sirens blazing like he was late for his grog, Behind me he flew with lights all a glow. Pulling over to honor this beast's demand I already had my license in hand. He brought his big carcass up to my window Grabbed my license and ask me what I’m into. Nothing I said, I’m just headed home, Then he dripped some sweat onto my chrome. All at once he started swatting at what he thought was a bee I said it’s just a horse fly so let it be. He bent over and looked at me through the window While asking me, what the hell is a hoss fly? Not a hoss fly – a horse fly – I said through the window You know – it’s a fly that flies around and around a horse's **** He got a little closer and pushed down his shades And asked me if I was calling him a hoss’s **** in spades. I said – no sir – not at all – I would never ever Do anything like that at all – that for me would be too terse. He said something that I couldn’t understand When then the fly lit on his Foster Grants. Cross-eyed he handed me back my license And began swatting at the thing creating the offense. But the horse fly was faster than he and had more sense As he slapped his shades off across into a fence. The fly flew around and around his head While he backed out into the street like something ****** I reached through the window and pulled him out of the street For a car was coming and they were sure to meet. Realizing now what he had almost done He shook my hand and said I could go that we were done. But one more time he stuck his sweaty face in mine And asked me once again if I was calling him a hoss’s **** Again I said - no sir, absolutely not but that I couldn't lie - Sir, you know - you just can’t fool a smart horse fly.*

The Horse Fly & The Horse’s ****

His suit is taggered. Bullet holes and tears but finely pressed and clean. Still recognizable as a cop's beat uniform. He unsnaps his gun holster clip. No one uses the old guns anymore. Electronic laser weapons are the fad in the end times. I got a Desert Eagle .45 that has something these fancy tech-lovers don't. Two point three seconds... You see, it takes a Lectro two point three seconds to charge-up and that happens to be more time than it takes a 'cowboy-movie-loving' quick draw to end you... "Hi boys! You've got a Buzz here I see? Well...time to move along and let me buy the next round 'eh?" -I say "Look, there's a drink shack right about a block up from here. Let me get you." -said with a wink The three look rough as they all do out here in the runs. That's the wasteland roadways in the inner cities. Least that's what they are known as these days. If you're guessing the futures part of that wasteland you got it right. The last war was the Great War. The one that ended all government. Now we have two realities; the corporations large enough to maintain some order and the publicly disordered nightmare. You'd a thought systemic breakdown would have released the minds of the many from their company masters but it was quite the opposite. Those left and afraid flocked to join the barons making them even more powerful. I work for one of these new titans; Altria Group. The three look at each other with queer smirks and grins as if their figurin' on what move to make or perhaps figured it already? The middle one draws his Lectro-gun...bad idea. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Three down. I walk over them to make sure, BOOM! ...one last slug in the ringleader's face clears this route. These ******** have been hitting our trucks for weeks from this alleyway. My shots draw out more vermin...Chicago is a mecha for filth. Our heavy operators in the dozer-rigs clear the blockages but it's up to me to stop the vagabonds and hijackers. Only losers don't have a job. "Well boys you had the chance to take this one to the bar and drink it off...instead you got a buzz still ringing in your ears!" -I tell their dead bodies while reloading my clips That 'buzz' would be me, Buzziah. I'm The last cop in Chicago. Maybe the last one in America, who knows? BOOM! BOOM! Down go two more scum...I hate sneakies. I lean down to make sure my body cam gets a shot of their faces. I get paid by the **** My bosses at the cigarette company still want to see their faces for some reason. I never ask, I don't care, I'm just a camel cop... *"Sounds like a ***** joke..."* -I say out loud I know it's confusing. Reynold's used to make camel cigarettes. I'll light one up while my brain explains it for you. When it appeared that the U.S. government had lost control...the major multinational players took action on their own. Some of them, like my employer, they literally killed their competition. Thirteen years later they're the only game in town for smokes, jobs, housing, protection and food...and I am the only cop left. I stop a ****** running by, "Hey you stop!" -I tell him He freezes and stares at me shaking. I'm a bit of a celebrity in downtown. "Do you like the uniform or what?" -I ask him "Uh-uh-uh man, man just let me go I ain't after your loads?" I chuckle deeply inside. It is a ***** joke after all. BOOM! I turn on my Beats-Sat uplink... "All clear on routes a-go, all routes a-go..." Switch the channel to the network Apple link...hard core rap. I love it. I catch a tune on the heavy guitar riff and backbeat intro... <Double forty-fives, double forty-fives> <YO> -chorus <Jumped out the War like G I JOE!> <Landed gig/wid Nort Gruman.> <Patrollin' my beat as-a-GUN MAN> <Double forty-fives, double forty-fives> <BLOW> -gunshot sounds This feels so right. I hop on my motorcycle and tear-off. Time for my buzz... I am the Lord's Strength. Buzziah Willis...remember it. I run the streets of downtown Chicago. I am the law here. "Wanna smoke?" He says to the air.

not just bad
Roads keep on teaching us new lessons in violence, rage is the law ruling the perfectly chaotic traffic you are left to fend yourself in this murky waters where killer whales celebrate the success of  blood thirst. Men who don't properly breath are atrocious on roads behind the wheels,they jump signals, break rules as if their poor mamas made them promise to do all this! a law  to send such cases to yoga class would do good. But women with bad driving skills as their assets for life are no less, in making our lives on each journey miserable In a road where with impunity, suicide squads operate your poetic musings, will have to stop, to remain alive. Just then a police car with a roar stop in my front authority makes me weary but the cop  behind the wheels a woman, tells me the story of beauty than a cop's authority on how beauty softens heat that makes muscles go stiff She springs out of the cabin of the vehicle she is in making ripples feminine and also ease in the air. violence of the machines and the minds in controlling, speed, broken rules and the thrill of chasing criminals beauty which brings a change where it is out of place almost. As I drift in to sleep, after a long drive safe,and few stiff drinks in my dream's window she sits winking,'drive safe all through life' "Good by my good cop"I whisper "be soft and right,authority is mess"

Running away
I am indifferent to your pain I cannot feel the hurt the rage or blame The anger I don't handle well Are you in hell? I cannot tell I see you lie there on the ground My only interest is the round, the caliber, or the speed of car that hit you. Its Vehicular. Was it mine? Approach and angle. Incident report. I am indifferent to thought outside of that that makes me who I am. I don't hate you. I'm the man who said, " I love you" and "We're friends" and things that tore your mind to shreds I only know you're mad as hell. I didn't know. I couldn't tell. How could I know? I only said those words to get you into bed.
