"Do you watch MacDonald
& Dobbs?
I think it's the best British
crime-solving odd cops
drama I've known. Funny
realist, too, maybe really
funniest and realist, in terms
of punch, heft and skew - or
if
perhaps not "best"
objectively...
(what is?)
...then a favorite with a bullet
aimed slow & true towards
the top of that chart, midflight
to bullseye, and as time goes
we'll see how far straight
up into it embeds!"
"Which, now?"
"Well, it's hard to say
between best by specifiable
metrics and fave by hard
weighed hand-waved
heartfaced sentiment-"
"No. Which show or book?"
"Show!" Pause. "I did say 'watch'-"
"Which one?"
"MacDonald & Dobbs!"
"...Which one are you?"
...
...
"Clever."

"Oh it's 'Dodds,' by the way."
Pause. "And McDonald."
"Oh have it your way!"
"That's BK, dude, not McD."
"British Knights...?"
[ reader: an old-school
athletic shoe and possibly
attire brand ]
[ the poet will presume
everyone
got
the reference ]
...
...
"Dumb."
how ya like me now
