And chances are they'd want to see inside
the flat she shares with students of fine art
and if they have a dog with them there is no place to hide
her flatmate's drugs he bought "to sooth his heart."
Besides which, they might cordon off the road
with their lines of blue/white bunting and their cones
She can't get to the pawn shop if she's trapped in her abode
while they look for further evidence and bones.
The poor man in (if they're a man at all)
can wait another night before he's laid on stone
Perhaps he didn't mean to climb the roof and fall
to die within a stranger's trash alone.
