Hippo Joe
Still hides
Dare not show
His chubby face on
land
Bathe in his pool
The dark colour of
water
Occasionally he
will emerge
Hear it in the news
He still says
He can’t get a fair
trial
He hasn’t returned
to face his demons
How can he know?
Hippo Joe
Afraid of his own
shadow
Hiding deep in the
dark water
Using ill-gotten
monies to block the truth
His days are
numbered
He will keep
watching his back
He will be kept in
observation
Until the police
knock his doors
