Stolen Car
Black on black Beamer
Boosted from Bayonne
Flying north on Bergen Ave
Three cop cars in rear view mirror
Sirens screaming
Chan rips right on Claremont
Zooms past Ocean
Slams brakes
We bail
I sprint up Arlington
Hop fence
Duck behind 4 trash cans in
Herman Outlaw’s driveway
Tap dips down Claremont
Left on Randolph
Heads towards Teddy’s grocery store
Chan slides from driver’s side
Crosses street
Does slow pimp stroll
As cop cars screech to a halt
Five officers exit
Split in different directions
Chan does 180
Walks towards them
They run right by
Cops can’t catch Tap
Must move ASAP
Or go to jail
Heart thumps so loudly
Barely hear Valerie Davidson
Peck kitchen window
Thin index finger
Motions towards door
Latch unlocks
Slip inside
Sound of footsteps rise behind
Picture window view of
Cops chasing tails
Chan nea
