OF COURSE THIS NEVER HAPPENED

by George Spencer


2 black cops come to check a suspicious white guy
at the country club

he's armed with a driver, a 5 iron
starts to pull something out of his golf bag

hard to see white guys in the bright sun

100 bullets
fifty from each gun


George Spencer lives in Ecuador half the year where he started its first poetry slam. Recently, he had poems in CLWN WR, Stained Sheets, Rain Tiger, 63 Channels and Poetry MidWest. PWP is publishing his chapbook Obscene Richness of Our Times in '09.
