Game Day
Halftime on N Street
when the first cop car parks in front of the house
and waits for the second
who waits for the ambulance
and the bully of the paddy wagon
to scrape the drunkard off the empty sidewalk.

Hair grease,
splayed legs inside frayed jeans
leave a loose puddle
to bleed
a slow wound
for the second half.
