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."

MAX THRAX lives in Boston, Massachussetts. His stories and poetry have appeared in Bristol Noir, Punk Noir, Versification, and Shotgun Honey.
