Frayed Trousers
steve coel
it was always going to be the rings on his fingers.
dead giveaway.
every time.
not his car coat. not his appalling smile just before
he lost it.
his cheap shoes, the shoes he liked a lot, and his too
long frayed trousers, just seem to go unnoticed.
strange that.
scam is what he would call it. is all.
people watch too much TV see.
so...just a few backhanders, a couple of meetings and
the usual sealed envelope.
he didn't hurt anyone; anyone you'd care about anyways.
well, did he?
