MALACHY âMONSTERâ MCKIE (Free verse) by rahson_s
Two months before sentencing,
three open cases, one child on
the way, four minutes to midnight,
two days till my birthday, five
brothers, four sisters,
one mother, two fathers,
one living, one dead,
six abortions, three
miscarriages, seven ounces,
one corner, two workers,
three pistols, two felonies, eleven
hundred dollars, one mistake,
one snitch, three detectives,
two direct sales, seven crack heads,
four heroin addicts, one supplier,
six pit bulls, two iguanas,
two stab wounds, one hundred
pieces of crack cocaine,
one conscience, two balls,
six million ways to die, one wife,
one step-daughter, two reasons why
I can't go back to prison
