This is like a little story in poem form, enjoy. And yeah its about Sidney. LOL.


Just Business

She waited

staring at the entrance of a bar across the street.
It was closing time, the owner stood at the door, she dashed
over, grabbing him by the wrist before it shut.

“Last call?” she asked, ducking under his arm
to enter. Two stragglers stayed behind. That just won’t do.
“You should get them out.”

He replied with a nod. He wasn’t much of a talker,
which made her job a lot easier, to end his financial woes.

She grabbed a short glass. Swirled the brown liquor
then she tipped it over. “Remember, 25% of the insurance is mine.”
He waved her off.

Spilt liquid, knocked over chairs and tables, and piled
newspapers and magazines. Good, good.
A smile spread across her rosy lips as she eyed her lighter,
striking the roughness of the thumbwheel
until a flame appeared.

It dropped.
The fire consumed the room as she exited.

No remorse necessary. Just business.

She stood back, watched her work, and then turned to the owner.
“I want it all in 20s, 10s, and 5s”
