MARILYN HOLDING ON TO 
MEMORIES THROUGH ASHES 
REMEMERING THE LOST DONATE 
BONE MARROW SHORE CLAIR MICHIGAN 
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU PLEASE 
STOP THREATENING MY LIFE 
I CAN'T IMAGINE AFTER ALL THESE 
YEARS RIVERSIDE DRIVE YOU WERE SO 
INTRIGUED BY MY POETRY MY WRITING

EXPECTED TO EVER SEE YOU AGAIN 
AFTER ALL MARILYN NEEDED YOU 
47 YEARS OF MARRAIGE CAN'T BE 
BARGAINED WITH WHAT IS IT YOU 
WANT EVERYONE BELIEVED YOU WERE 
DEAD AND HERE YOU ARE THREATENING 
WHY FOR WHAT REASON DO YOU HAVE TO 
WANT ME DEAD I AM NOT SAMMY THE BULL

PATH AN YET YOU HAVE BEEN TAUNTING

JUDGES WERE SWITCHED IN MY KITCHEN 
OVER TUNA CASSEROLE RECIPES LEMONADE 
WHILE FBI AGENTS HELPED MY KIDS WITH 
HOME WORK USING A TIME TABLE SHEET 
WITNESS FILES WERE THROWN ACROSS A
HOTEL ROOM AT 2AM WHILE I WAS STUFFED 
IN THE TRUNK OF A LINCOLN WEARING DUCT 
TAPE ON MY MOUTH IT REALLY STINGED 
WHEN THEY PULLED IT OFF I LOST AN ISOTONER 
GLOVE MEANWHILE CITY OFFICIALS EXTORTED HIS 
PROPERTIES HE WAS FILLED WITH FURY AND 
FEAR AFTER ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE TAILOR 
SHOP WAS STORED ALL THOSE YEARS SO ANOTHER 
FIRE ANOTHER DEATH THATS WHEN THE HIT 
ON MY HEAD WAS GIVEN TO YOU HERE WE 
ARE ANOTHER HIT ON MY LIFE I CAN'T HELP 
BUT FEEL YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH BEING 
BIG PAUL YOU KNOW SOME TWISTED REVENGE 
OF THE CHRISTMAS DAY FIRE 1985 BIG PAUL END
