The Purple Gang
not for the guns,
the power trips and hold-ups,
not that the cops could get ya,
not for all that stuff,
the gun molls,
the dirty tricks.
No,
but for the rivalry,
the other no-good-robbers
who bootlegged
and drank
and partied too well
and dressed in clothes
fit for Harry Truman,
the haberdashery-conscious
purple gang
rode roughshod and
died,
their pretty clothes all bloodied,
because, because,
they were too damn visible,
bragging about exploits
that should have been
hush-hush.
