FACT & FICTION
back in the days when I read true crime
my brother bought me a book
by a female serial killer
well
partly by her
it needed to be filled in
by some journalist
because her bits were all in capital letters
and barely coherent
all I WENT TO THE PLACE & THERE
WAS THE JOHN
AND I WANTED HIS CAR
SO I SHOT HIM
that’s the thing about true crime
and why I stopped reading it
murderers are rarely raconteurs
(in fact they’re quite sordid)
