barely a tulip petal

rose's cat mikey died on monday
rose misses him like crazy
and basha screeches
about how yvonne didnt care
for him properly the weeked that he died
he was 21 for goodness sake

so - the tally for this week is...
henry witkoski
frances joss
and
mikey
also - now i think about it
the tulips all around the city are on their way out
barely a tulip petal to be seen
i stopped and drew one of the last ones
near the corner of 72 and maddison
yellow and 2 pistols
i might turn it into a postcard
send it to someone who appreciates
the significants of a tulip
with two petal - the last on maddison
