Vincent A. Cellucci – slinged hero reunites w/ emergency blanketed boo

settling score chores /       may have /         left me a little happily-ever-breathless /

 

but what are these millions worth /           w/o  a reunion      /                          before closing /

 

credits     /                            come up cocoon  /                    wrap this bitch /

 

up   /        in emergency blanket    /                             present /

 

her   /       to me      /         patient among emergency scurry /                                   waiting/

 

greasy /                                                    with appreciation /

 

exhausted /         scene in front of the exhaust /

 

of an ambulance  /    complete with  surrogate    /   child   /

 

I happened to save /

not for nothin’ mind you /

 

another gun shot notch /                                   my shoulder caught /

 

happens so often I forgot /

 

she calls me /                courage

 

sometimes we lock lips  /

 

making the previous battle  /

 

penultimate

 

and tear-ups only after /
