put down the Dummy
50 shots
but 1 act
of verse, metal and wood
what happens
when the tall white guy with the grey beard
pulls out a dummy on 125th?
Or empties everything he has into
a mannequin to do an act
through chicken smoke and holiday litter?
Officer instructs him to close the case
get off your back dummy
Put it away, let's go
street vendor ventriloquist
danger among us
street unit Pinocchio procedure
2 clips
just 2 bits, please
the dummy looks sad,
the officer empty
he has no more life in him
someone's pulling strings
it's not that cold in New York now
but it turns and slumps
and they fire at the
little life we have left
to throw our voices with
potent....

Alright sir, thanks.
