forensics of a death scene

the deceased was found

face-up near the toilet bowl,

an American Standard product.

authentic porcelain.

it’s a dark scene.

an unusual presence permeates

the atmosphere.

the decedent was reported to have said:

“I just want a little taste of the stuff”

but that is unconfirmed.

what’s confirmed is that nothing

is funny anymore.

what’s official is the deceased

can’t even be arrested, although

in a technical sense a crime was committed.

the cop bending over the body has kids.

well,…maybe it’s a little funny.

it’s all in the timing.
