Neither a King nor a Boss

 

A gas station close by the overpass

A display case of shiny knives and knucks

One of the knives features a naked lady

Some of the knucks are labeled “KING” and “BOSS”

 

But would the object of a metallic punch

Have time to read either the “KING” or “BOSS”

Before he fell among his blood and pain?

A legless man in a wheelchair rolls by

 

To his blue tarp and sleeping bag close by

The gas station close by the overpass
