FREE DELIVERY
Shutters up
On the shop
Four days
Out of seven
No one
Goes in
No one
Goes out
Even the mice
Are gone
Scurried across
The street
Its receipts
Only found
On the ledger
Of a Macau syndicate

Max confesses: "Traces of organized crime are all around us, even if we don't see them. I wrote 'Free Delivery' about my old neighborhood in Boston, where fronts and fake businesses were fairly common and, far as I know, still are. A murky, twilight world that inspires much of my work."
