Last Carl
Shouting in the street
the neighbour, drunk,
shouting at his
daughter.
We go out
offer safety to her
and her mother, her
kids.
I stand, impassive,
waiting
while DK phones the
police.
He can shout if he
likes
but if he hits her I'll
step in.
He's bigger than me
but I'm not afraid.
His drunk friend comes,
leads him away.
Peaceful street.
Four police cars
arrive.
