MacArthur (a stream of consciousness writing about the murder of an individual and the dumping of his body on a street in my neck of the woods)

Lay me down on the warm,
Night asphalt
And leave me. 
Speed away.
My body in a new place.
Killing in the name
Of everything that's wrong
With the reflection
In the stained glass.
Distorted.
This is me:
Full of holes.
Drugs and Guns.
Barely legal.
Not even.
Drop me like a bowl.
A rare, fragile, expensive bowl.
I shatter, I scatter.
Some of me in chunks.
Some of me in dust.
I fill the crevices of the road.
With little rivers of blood.
It's killing season for man.
Blood rushes, gushes.
Never a drought.
Just a night's pause.
A night's rest.
With one eye open.
While I sleep.
Finally.
Atop the asphalt matress.
On MacArthur.
