There was blood
On the sidewalk today

No shock, no awe
Unremarkable -
It was just a
Big dried out brown smudge
Spread thin
Like rust on
A ‘63 Chevy

But last night it was
Racing
Boiling with macho
Cruising; posturing
Red tongued and lusting
Blaring obscenities

It engorged cock
Pointed Fuck You with it
Marked a line down the concrete with it
Dared and dueled with it
Died while still defying gravity

In the Arena on the corner
Only one cock crowed morning
