The world surrounds us: gunshots are like rain

Bonnie and Crowder


will have a stranger's dream to write down the
star-like bullet holes for us in an instant, as well as the number of
stolen cars and the
number of cylinders we love -our ultimate speed.

Moving forward,
we were outsiders in the illegally entered houses, and black oil leaked out.
I heard the kettle explode in the kitchen at noon .

It flows out of the Milky Way in the summer, sparks
pass by, and the wheels roll up the unmanaged
roads of the North American wilderness —the guns are against your throat.

The turtledove, the starter, and the Banjo dance,
Bonnie and Claude
dance their Alabama Moonlight Dance under our black shirts .
Dance of Death - When we were young, I wore glasses sided

stick your ear: "together to live a
crazy life, right?" There will be a stranger's dream
to back us a note, when we were young
then , The world surrounds us: gunshots are like rain,

we do not intend to escape.

Bonnie and Clyde quotes

  • [about Bonnie's poem]

    Clyde Barrow: You know what you done there? You told my story, you told my whole story right there, right there. One time, I told you I was gonna make you somebody. That's what you done for me. You made me somebody they're gonna remember.

  • Clyde Barrow: Alright. Alright. If all you want's a stud service, you get on back to West Dallas and you stay there the rest of your life. You're worth more than that. A lot more than that. You know it and that's why you come along with me. You could find a lover boy on every damn corner in town. It don't make a damn to them whether you're waitin' on tables or pickin' cotton, but it does make a damn to me.

    Bonnie Parker: Why?

    Clyde Barrow: Why? What's you mean, "Why?" Because you're different, that's why. You know, you're like me. You want different things. You got somethin' better than bein' a waitress. You and me travelin' together, we could cut a path clean across this state and Kansas and Missouri and Oklahoma and everybody'd know about it. You listen to me, Miss Bonnie Parker. You listen to me.
