tough guy

it's funny how when you punch a hole in a guy
all this blood comes out
it doesn't matter whether you use a gun
or a sharp point,

or can claim self-defense -
the result's the same. Laugh or cry.

I'm a real tough guy, huh? I could be in a detective novel.
In fact, I could be in a detective novel! If I only stopped
to write some of this down. Luckily,

it never stops.
