the police report

you rarely
hear
the word brandish,
or use it in general
conversation
except when
it comes
to weapons and a cop
describing
the scene of the crime
and it's
perpetrators.
the three miscreants,
the report reads,
were all approximately
three foot two or
shorter, males,
chewing gum,
and blowing bubbles,
they were all standing
over the broken gumball
machine
brandishing wooden
mallets
apparently stolen from
their mother's
cooking utensil drawer.
the weapons
have been seized
and they boys have been taken
downtown
for questioning,
after using the bathroom,
under guard,
at McDonald's.
