[Newspoetry] NYPD Tries to Bribe Louima

[Joe Futrelle]

shut up, abner
we'll give you $9M
just don't take away our
plunger

to seale [sic] your lips
and your lawyer's lips
wear this gag

when we speak
if we speak at all
it is
on the condition of anonymity
a postcard
from behind the blue wall
of silence

wish you were here

slam the book
at this chapter
at this page
on this sentence
shut it up

we gave you the stick
now take the carrot
