spider wilson died

in front of johnny
the greek's shoe
shine stand
where father was
telling a guy
never to draw to
an inside straight
when he saw spider
fall he got down
on all fours to
feel for a pulse
in spider's neck
is he dead the
greek asked yeah
father sd when the
greek cocked his
foot back like he
was going to kick
spider in the head
father sd it ain't
fair to pick on
a dead man then he
came over grabbed
me by the shirt &
shoved me close
to spider's eyes
sd you wanna be
a writer you
can't look away
