Bok, sickened by sentimentality, responds
 
  
  I have a taste for true crime,
 
 slashed nipples and all the rest,
 
 I confess I like true crime.
  
 
 Three men pick up a boy at Taco Loco,
 
 and say: "You're gonna be our leading man."
 
 They drive to Arizona,
 
 snuff him out on Betacam-
 
 ooo I wanna see that one.
  
 
 I have a taste for true crime,
 
 Faces of Death and all the rest,
 
 I confess I like true crime.
 
 From Don Juans in bloody sheets
 
 to the hollow cheeks of dredged-up cheats,
 
 I have to say I feel complete
 
 when I see true crime.
  
 
 Don't give me all your shit:
 
 life is good and death is bad.
 
 I can think of many lives
 
 that are not worth living:
  
 
 A quiet man who lives alone
 
 tries to bury all the thoughts
 
 that are not permissible.
 
 He hopes there's a line that divides
 
 thought and action.
