Sin City 
PART I:  A Dame to Kill For 
"I feel so cold on hookers and gin.  This mess we�re in."-Sean Atkins, Hookers and Gin  

Freddy bangs beats like the
clackclackclack of my typewriter. 
My hand shakes
with arthritic tremors along the barrel 
of my cigarette. 

I'm getting too old for this. 

The gray grit pelts the
darkblacknoir of my trench coat. 
My hand shakes
from drizzle flowing down the edge
of my fedora. 

It's getting too cold for this. 

The masked moon shoots like the
clickclickclick of my camera. 
My hand shakes
with the recoil of the shutter
as it freezes them. 

I'm getting chump change for this. 

The woman whimpers like the
damedamedame of my case. 
My hand shakes
with arthritic tremors along the barrel 
of my gun. 

I'm getting too old for this. 

Freddy hits her like the
punchdrunkpalooka raging inside. 
My hand shakes 
with arm aiming steady
at his bulk. 

It's getting too cold for this. 

The flash fire and the
bangbangbang of my gun. 
My hand shakes
the smoke curl rising from the back
of his head. 

I shoot him again and again
until I get it right.
