Wildwood # 5 Poem by James McLain

Shannon is gone, but not until after the flies had gorged themselves,
On the red spot as previously stated in Wildwood # 4.
Charlie is next and is dying and cannot but barely do the things that
Most of you take for granted.

He defecates on himself on a regular basis,
Smell's of fish long since dead and wherever he sits he leaves a smear
Of pungent shit,
That the blow flies roll around in and then try to find entry intoxicated
On what they ate being full and are then slow flying.

Charlie should have long since been placed in one of Florida's decrepit
A.L.F.s
That are well known for underpaid employees whom are of the sort where
An unbiased opinion is that one gets what one pays for.
Being of course leaps and bounds ahead of how Wildwood is run.

If Charlie was a plane he has long since crashed as far as his mind goes.
But hey guess what he gets a check until death does it part from those whom
Collect it and on the first and the third
Most are awakened at two in the morning before they can leave to by drug's and alcohol.

Law enforcement came less than a month ago and collected from them their
Computer's and files,
I'm certain they think that there is money laundering going on and with nothing to gain
I'm beginning to think that as well.
