(This poem was written for a short story, so to fully understand it, I suggest you read: "On The Sidewalk Bleeding" - by Evan Hunter)

(Written from the view of "Laura")

Royal

That Jacket.
It’s evil body
Lying limp in the rain.
Cast its evil curse
Upon a sweet boy.
Giving him a name,
He does not deserve.
Now he lies dead,
In the rain,
With the Jacket.

It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold.
