Ex-Cop

[Wjames]

I wrote this thing a while ago. I'd like to add another stanza or two, but can't seem to do so without butchering what I already have. I think it can sort of stand on it's own as a vignette though.



I used to be a cop;
prowling the Mardi Gras
tumbleweed of small town Louisiana,
stopping every so often with my partner
for a large double-double and a sprinkle donut.
