--- C H A R L I E   O 'H A Y 


drives an ambulance
full of wires and clips and fuses


in his yellow overalls
he keeps the snapshots of every woman


he's slept with
and when he gets drunk he brings them 


out, all those sad and 
beaten faces, those tragic bodies


splayed like roadkill
nobody ever asks why


he drives a meat wagon.
