The Wire: Haikus

We know it's over. That hasn't kept it from our heads though. This afternoon, The Wire inspired haikus in us. By Ryan Stewart and Ellee Dean and Nina MacLaughlin.

The docks are emptyce:office" />

Loyalty won’t save us now

Handshake, shotgun, gone

(nm)

Stringer Bell, Avon

Two kings reign the streets supreme

Brothers, betrayal

(nm)

Ziggy plays the fool

A duck, and money burning

He’s got feelings too

(nm)

Take another swig

McNulty. Bury your truth:

B’more, your heart, burns.

(nm)

Punch me with your eyes.

Troubled past, now clean, Cutty

I’ll call you Dennis.

(nm)

Streetsong won’t lull you

Mopes, dope, cops corrupt as well

Game where no one wins

(nm)

Way down in the hole
Under an old Dead blanket
Eyes red like Bubbles

(ed)

Down to the fire

Blood on backseats, not lovers

Corners for quick graves

(ed)
