the peddler

Peddler in the market place!
Selling tainted meat!


Wait -- I'm not the only one,
Who's been sickened;


Seems the word has spread,
And most avoid him;


And the marketplace is lively,
Since I've been ill;


I think I'll shop a while,
Before I peddle again.

he's still a criminal
in the most obscene sense
but sometimes justice
is only for the movies
and the very rich

I asked him who he thought
would want to buy a pair
he had worn in so throughly...

He said, "No one, I'm afraid,
though from a distance
many seem to covet my old moccasins"

And I asked him why he was
so eager to sell them and he said
"So their words will reach me"
