headline: officers make good arrests
happily, lying our porch this morning was
that peerless rag, the richmond review.
the police blotter reads like an ineffable fusion
of hemingway, a book report, and reno 911.
when it arrives, my best friend and i always
drop whatever we're doing and take a moment
to read it aloud, both to appreciate the poetry
"that sure is a lot of cocaine," one officer said to the woman.
and to try to guess which "local diner's parking lot"
a man with a meat cleaver chased a young woman through.
also, some items inspire heated ethical debates, such as
do you side with the persecuted shuttle driver even after
he bit the man's nose, but could not explain to the police why he did so?
