Shirley
Left a shout out
On her way to the hospital.
Contractions started
a gun fired overhead
and she ducked her head and
prayed to God.
I'll MAKE it right
I'M gonnna fight
Stormy neighborhood. I know I said
I'd fight
but I can't.
And then Mr. Nice Guy guy swabbed forehead in the ambulance
Jazz filled her head. Had no time to dance
not now not right now
As life was about to begin
And for what?!
And for what?
Before the next line
Shirley threw her head back
with a long, throaty laugh
And a certain guile. certain.
