GOOD COP STORY
Fueling the car,
outside Brahman, Michigan
Hose breaks.
Gets gas all over my white pants.
I go to the men’s room,
take my pants off,
wash with cold water,
put em back on.
but I don’t wear underwear –
so this isn’t pleasant –
So, driving down road
as passenger,
I take my pants off
Hang em out the window to dry –
State trooper pulls us over.
I’m indignant,
arrogant
and naked.
We haven’t broken any laws
But he just wants to check,
thinks my white pants
are a flag for help
I apologize.
As he turns to leave,
he points at the marijuana pipe in the ashtray.
Says,
Might wanna hide that.
So that’s that,
a good cop story.
And I am an asshole.
