nicodemus | 1 |
stole a little-debbie truck | 2 |
from in front of a gas station | 3 |
while on a whiskey bender. | 4 |
| |
once you've | 5 |
crossed a certain line | 6 |
it's hard to be satisfied | 7 |
with jesus | 8 |
and the wisdom of middle managers, | 9 |
he told me | 10 |
one night | 11 |
during a bout of insomnia | 12 |
at the correctional facility. | 13 |
| |
he never talked about it | 14 |
but his file | 15 |
said he was president of a bank | 16 |
until his wife | 17 |
drowned their newborn daughter | 18 |
and hung herself | 19 |
from an attic rafter | 20 |
in ninety-seven. | 21 |
| |
see you | 22 |
on the banana boat chief, | 23 |
he said to me | 24 |
the day | 25 |
he discharged. | 26 |
| |
that was | 27 |
a few | 28 |
months ago. | 29 |
| |
this morning | 30 |
my newspaper says | 31 |
he's been shot to death | 32 |
trying to break into a | 33 |
pharmacy drive through window | 34 |
with a sledgehammer. | 35 |
