one taillight

just met sy at the ranch a hundred for a pound
a quick toke a quick exchange then drive slow
waiting at a red light a cop turns on his flasher
check all around me nothing that should show
roll down the window of the sixty pink mercury
hey good afternoon sir did i do anything wrong
pull over off the road the brake light’s acting up
really didn’t notice thank you sir i’ll fix it soon
let me take a look in the trunk to check the wires
what have we got here in this supermarket bag
i do believe you’re coming with me lock the car
riding in the slick backseat finger printed booked
three months later a plea deal judge you volunteer
to enlist for four and get a conditional discharge
