He cries & curses as they drive away

Fritz Hamilton

He bowls consistently down the
gutter/ the pins barely move at all/ his
language stays in the gutter/ he drinks

shots & beers until he can barely stand/ he
falls cursing on the alley/ others
hope he leaves soon to clear the

way for them to play/ he challenges the
crowd to fight but no longer can he stand/ the
police arrive & cuff him/ he starts to weep/ they

take him to the wagon & shove him in. They
drive him two blocks & ask to see his money or
get taken to the lockup. They uncuff him &

he reaches into his pocket for his wallet. Humbly
he removes some bills from it. The cops ask for
more. He gives them the rest. They put him

on a bench. He cries & curses as they drive away.
People ignore him until someone gives him busfare.
The bus arrives, & he gets on with everybody else

They drive on. He doesn’t know where they’re going,
but he hopes it’s where he finds his car. A child across
the aisle looks at him & says hi.
