A detective show has to kill someone.
Or else,
it's a trivial exercise
in solution of crime,
of fraud, of theft, another
somebody done someone wrong song,
well. Some one, some real individual one
(or at least fictional) has have
to have met their, his, her
end. To justify
My emotional stake
in this excellent friend
of justice, deduction, or (sometimes)
mercy I've found. In this high-stakes character.
But by justice mere, or compassion sheer,
I wish they could have some
margin to fail. But they don't. Even
Sherlock Holmes missed, times.
And he wasn't even real,
but he was
sublime.
A show to live up, to that.
The rest of us have
to make livings,
stat.
Or shat.
