I Like To Read Poem by Jeremiah Crane

I like to read the yarns of men,
words written down upon a page.
Protagonists, antagonists,
the villains filled with drugs and rage.

The femme fatale with bends and curves
and slender legs as long as roads.
She'll bat her eyes and pout her lips
a second 'fore her gun unloads.

The dialogue is crisp and sharp,
a little crude sometimes maybe.
The cars go fast, the bullets more,
before you know it, it will be

the end.
