new poems from MAJOR INSOMNIA CORPORAL SLEEP Nick Armbrister and other writers

 Hot Italy

Jiva drove his bright blue Fiat Panda madly thru the narrow streets

Bullets zinged off the concrete behind his nippy car

He raised a middle finger and glanced in the rear mirror

The pursuing gun man was reloading his piece

With a grimace the shooter leaned out of the side window

 

The Panda driver was ready and grinned

He reefed his car round a corner on two wheels

Three pistol shots went wide and hit bystanders

The tailing BMW was actually slower in town

Around the tight corners and alleyways

On the wide roads Jiva was a dead man

 

But Jiva was in charge and it showed

He plotted the route and avoided being hurt

Not a single 9mm slug had hit home

He’d just ripped off their drug deal and had their cash

It was millions of Euros and used cash not dirty

 

In a further swerve Jiva shot down a one way street

Horns blared and oncoming cars just missed him

One hit the speeding BMW head on in a big clang!

One car ended up on its side and the other in s shop front

Jiva shouted and pumped his fist in triumph

He was already on a biz jet to Antigua and freedom…

 

 

 

Down The Drains

There are underground people who live underground

Both below the surface of the earth

And also inside their own subcultures

They were in a world within a world

They set their own rules and standards

Outsiders were oblivious to this

And wouldn’t understand if they knew

No outsiders were allowed underground

Into the dark labyrinth of tunnels

Or into the secretive dark groups

It was underground and hidden

Simply not in sight or scrutiny by others

This was the best way for everyone

It kept the stupid public safe from harm

And the groups from being observed

The underground double world

It’s so near yet so very remote

 

 

 

Junker Man

This guy was a German national and part Greek and Turk

His mother was from Athens and his father from Constantinople

He’d been born in Germany and was proud of that

He ran a kebab shop and sold the best kababs in Berlin

All types from mixed meat to vegan to fruit

His cooking style was his own as were the sauces

German Greek and Turkish meals were combined

The recipes were in his head and in a big safe

His workers were proud and hard working like the boss

Who demanded total loyalty and dedication

They had a job for life and none ever left except in death

I’m off to Berlin for a one off special kebab and side dish

Come and join me for this luxurious meal and experience

One of life’s special one off stomached once
