An Unlucky Haitian
In a NYC Police Station

One day outside a nightclub
Abner Louima ran into the
Wrong person.
Not a killer.
It happened to be a
New York City cop.
This cop exchanged words
with him over
a minor commotion
outside a nightclub
And decided that Louima
Was a smart ass.
And this cop in a spasm
Of righteousness
Decided to administer
A warped version
Of
‘to protect and to serve”
He arrested him
on a whim.
Gave a phony pretext.
To the suits at their desks
And later took him to
A police station bathroom.
But pissing in the toilet
Or admiring his reflection
Wasn’t on his mind.
The cop took a
Toilet plunger
And split Louima’s ass
Cheeks
In a way he would
Never forget.
No lubrication
Just shear brutality
Of one demented mind
Getting even with a
Hapless victim
Who was shrieking
In pain.
The cop felt so
powerful and
manly.
As Abner walked
Out with his pants down
Around his ankles
Groaning
a police colleague
Blurted out
“what smells like shit?”
(this is really true!)
A cover up was attempted
And the police
Code of Silence
Of crimes of their own
Fell apart
And the Cop with
Plunger
Plunged into his own
Comeuppance
In a special ward of
The prison designed
To prevent him from
Being turned into
A bitch and
Getting fucked in the ass
by inmates
Seeking revenge
To those who uphold the
Law.
Abner Louima was turned
Into an unwitting icon
Of police corruption
And was never asked
If he wanted this.
It just happened
Perhaps within the
Divine masterplan.
He became a multimillionaire
Financed by the taxpayers,
And big chunks were siphoned
Off by his lawyers
Like Hyenas picking apart
A fallen Zebra.
As Abner ponders all this
Trying to make any sense of it,
He sits with a colostomy bag
Collecting feces
That his bowels can’t
Dispel anymore.
