Crucified again July 19, 2012a

 


I write it all out

like a last will and testament,

thinking none of it will matter

after the owners fire me on Tuesday,

as I think they will,

every little detail I recall,

from the first text to the last,

including the threats and the conversation

my former temporary boss

since he is the reason

I’ve confessed,

Even if he says he’s deny it

If I do

A whole weekend to compile it all

Before I confront Pilate

My journals, my poems

My dirty little secrets

My world crashing

Around me,

Where the truth lies,

Only Sgt. Friday can say

I try to stick to the facts

When the court

Is stacked against me,

And throwing myself

On its mercy

Only gets me crucified
