2) This time
noone said how nice he was
how regular a guy he was
how happy he was, drudging in the U. S. Post Office
the same lies can be told only so often
This time
noone Lied
This time
noone was surprised
This time
when twelve people died
he had died already
he just
wanted company

the son of a bitch was crazy
