that Saturday morning
wasn’t anything
special
no portents in the
sky
no shaman prophesying
or cock to crow
the children ran to and from
their imaginary world
in the playground
across the street
Charlie wolfe
was coughing
loud
spewing curses
to everyone
with a caustic charm
caring little for
rebuttals
that Saturday morning
no alarms or sirens
or flames or people screaming
in the southern California sun
in july
there was nothing
just haze
smog and the promise
of heavier haze and
smog
a day only good for cold
beer and
hitting up the young
girls on their way to the liqour
store
that Saturday morning was not
marked to be remembered
so when johnny smoked up
a couple of eights
and told god he was ready
no one paid it any
mind
nor did anyone look
up
when he laid caps from
a 9 into
Shereeka and the
twins
police
rescue
swat
and Johnny’s moms
screams crying hysteria
and the ridiculous comments on
why
that Saturday morning
was nothing special
I hardly remember it
