(Late again today. I just realised I somehow mistitled my poems, having multiple 133 and 134, so I’ve fixed that.

Went to a library event today for crime genre so that’s the inspiration today).

Lap up the true crime

but shy away from gore.

Hear how real events took place

but recoil at fictional details of

bent bodies, bloodied wounds,

twisted minds.

Perhaps you’re confusing

which is real and which is not

to cope with living

in this world.
