Mystery Mail | |
It read: “ | |
I hope this finds you well” | |
To no avail | |
You tipped the scale | |
Now I’ll see you in | |
Hell Sailing over this story’s arc | |
A cardboard box that missed its mark | |
Like a comet seen at dusk | |
Like the Mayan twins born of the husk | |
We were raised and flew at the very same height | |
But fell individually from our flight | |
I knew Daniel since high school in | |
Benicia He sold cookies from his parents’ freezer | |
But were we ever really ever close? | |
Now Daniel’s gone and | |
I’m his ghost | |
He went north and | |
I went east | |
We had a plan- or an idea, at least | |
From his cousin’s lab in | |
Crescent City | |
Daniel packaged two pounds for speedy delivery | |
USPS to Greenpoint, | |
Brooklyn Every gram sold while his cousin kept cooking | |
Successfully, this went on | |
For, oh, I don’t know how long | |
One day I turned the corner onto | |
India St. | |
I must have turned white as a sheet | |
Three policemen were standing on my stoop | |
Talking to my girlfriend, | |
Betty Boop | |
I turned around never to see | |
Betty again | |
I’m sorry, | |
Betty, I hope you understand | |
I assumed they got to | |
Daniel first | |
In this line of work you come to expect the worse | |
Some time later, the smirk was wiped from my smile | |
I was arrested for hopping a turnstile | |
Bones had told the warrant cleared after eight years | |
So, naturally, on my court date | |
I failed to appear | |
Eventually, the cardboard comet had to fall | |
I took a walk down the long hall | |
The first thing | |
I did from my cell | |
Was write a letter in search of | |
Daniel Daniel was indeed inside the lion’s den | |
Not the only | |
Lionkiller in a | |
California | |
State Penn. | |
Daniel wrote me back in a matter of days | |
No mention of whether or not crime pays | |
He wrote: “ | |
You wouldn’t recognize my anymore” “ | |
I bet you’d rather be back cleaning toilets in | |
Baltimore” “ | |
I’ll never make it out of this cell” “ | |
I guess the next time | |
I see you will be in | |
Hell” The letters stopped rolling in | |
I heard Daniel was stabbed with a ballpoint pen | |
About sixty times by his cellmate, | |
Charles Now people talk about immortalizing him in marble | |
Not everybody should be made a saint | |
Daniel was good guy, but a saint he ‘aint | |
