The tan man
from Violent Shadow Magazine
writes in hieroglyphics
and speaks in the glib tongue
of entertainment.
His lean shadow
shimmers in neon
and strikes a black mark
upon the city streets.
The essence of him lingering
long after the night
has captured and sealed the evidence.
Tan man ferrets out
a news story
like a tiger shark
pursuing a solitary blood droplet
the thrill in the hunt
discovery tart upon his lips.
Violent Shadow magazine itself
spun off the transcribed clues
of an old Dick Tracy treatise
casting its headlines out
infused in florescent light.
Tan Man clamoring loudly
feeding us the truth
dipped in glittered grime.
