detectives

Hey man,
do you ever get sick of
hearing about these old guys
and their big words
and their big ideas
and their big tricks?
Wouldn’t you rather
rent a comedy
or something?
How about
some one-on-one?
Let’s work up a sweat!

No?

Tell you what,
give me a punch in the jaw.
Don’t be scared
a nice
solid
crack on the kisser
is all I’m asking!

Why?

Well, I
suppose it’s because
I’m tired of mysteries.
