Not Too Likely



Martin Willitts, Jr.



Every cop has a dead file,

a folder full of an unsolved murder

and it will haunt his coffee every retired morning.



Some take the folder with them

study it at night

looking for something they had not seen before



This was not one of those files.

I thought they had done it

but they didn’t and there were too many suspects



Yet the file kept calling out: solve me.

There are unsolved crimes

and there are crimes we do not want solved.



This was one of those cases.

I found the one slender clue no one saw

then I was able to close the file and burn it.
