WATCHING FILM NOIR

Shot out
of gun range
shooting off mouths
in detective gestures
to find the serial killer
in calculated later moves
from indifferent moods
in film noir
always during the rain
outside the police station
profiled as mug shots
of indissoluble doubles
who invariably show up
as a single guy
or eternal gal
in 1940's trench coats
from a traveler
on a cable car
driving with
a temporary permit
to discover the wallet
of the identity
lured by the experience
from a tape recording
as an unforgotten
documented victim.
