In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”

My hoppped up husband drops his home disputes,
and hits the streets to cruise for prostitutes,”
