Murder By Number


There were reasons to knock it off--
knock him off
per say

He had a problem with answering questions
and telling the truth
and bringing the best out in himself
in others

The perfect crime required a series of happy accidents
of imperfections in things said the night before
and the memory of how to wipe it up 619 times over

and over

Trash bags abound
nothing would solve this problem

It was a real shame--
because he was the one who knew
knew everything--
about the book depository

  2. In a true murder the only mistake that counts is the first one of actually commiting the deed!!!
