This is a fictional poem.

This fictional poem takes place in the 1930s.

This is a true story about Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker who were killed on May 23, 1934.

I wrote this as an ode to my sentence. I was convicted of unintentional manslaughter. No I don't think that I will have to wait for my life to start in my fourties. It's already starting. 

Not, i'm delighted to say, based on personal experience.  Except the experience as a child and occasionally as an adult hearing a not entirely familiar noise in the deepest dark and letting the imagination that brings me here run away with me.
