Watching (Free verse) by DMonster

Rain is pounding pounding down Wind that howls rattles windows Someone walks in the middle of the street Hood up, knife in hand She runs the blade across her wrist Blood spills staning the ground She passes out no longer feeling Blood is draining they aren't fast enough She is dying in the street People stand by merly watching Noone says a thing She is dead now, too late

You mean, like in case it was full of crack, so that it wouldn't go to waste? Probably not. Though most of the rest of the neighbourhood was crack houses, this building was actually the headquarters & rehearsal space of a small theatre company and the Vancouver Ukranian society or some such non-profit. Afterwards it became a used car lot. They put up a little iron fence to keep the junkies out, and someone was always putting flowers there. The arsonist burned down 3 or 4 more non-profit organizations before they caught him. I guess he had a thing against NGOs.
