coroner's report
the unidentified abandoned body in the back of the ambulance that’s headed to the police department belonged to a poet; a friend of mine. he used to write about everything— this is to say that there used to be an immense number of topics he only dreamed of learning before he decided to walk down 5 th avenue at 3 o’clock in the morning on a Tuesday. this is to say that the men who christened their knives unto his back didn’t care about his artform but cared deeply about the contents of his coat pockets.
