… of the Darkness On The Edge of Town is a Poem, meant as an answer to Update Two of the Chris Marlowe II Whodunnit, published by the Lost Dutchman on the HubPages.
You are talking to me? I mean,
are you on the Mean Streets
in the Darkness on the Edge of Town
talking to me? Are you?
Really?
Want to play with me?
Want to make a game of it and go
playing with me?
Now that that’s all right,
papa, I know
How To Play The Game
I Am
a Playwright, I am
The Dark Half
you see I am your
Misery.
But better don’t make fun of me, better
don’t set a Price on my Head,
some Beautiful Reward
consisting of a fake Lost
Flemish Primitive Panel.
And as a Convicted Con
I say to you:
“Don’t
forget Dié
is pronounced Dee
in Dutch & Axelrod
is Doctor
Lauren.”
Yours Truly,
the One & Only
Chris Marlowe II
