July 31, Late Afternoon
There was something about a constructive trust,
People panicking they missed it completely.
Something else about felony murder.

Back to cool ocean breezes,
And eight weeks unencumbered,
The six-figure bet out of my mind.

Finally knowing it’s out of your hands,
Sort of like that time with the morphine
After the surgery.
It doesn’t last.
