He bit a child, this happy go lucky

Ten-day quarantine or decapitation,
            that’s state law.

A piece of me goes to the lab

a fabric worn bare,
about to tear beyond stitching.


Is " pitty" a typo, or a bit of slang I just don't know?

Don't quite get connection between last line and the poem.

Third stanza is my favorite.  It could stand alone.
Yeah, this one is sparse.  I was afraid the last lines would be confusing.  'Pitty' is slang of sorts for Pitbull.  Before I try to edit too much, I am wondering what you think the poem is trying to convey.  Thanks for reading, TqB.
