Filming In Cold Blood


FILMING IN COLD BLOOD


An opening shot—
“Welcome to Emporia”
There on Sixth Avenue West

Dick and me driving—
Through Emporia, Kansas
Past the looming Plumb Mansion

Past Carnegie Library—
And the Civic Auditorium
Then a right on Commercial

Driving north to campus—
Down a couple of blocks
To Haynes Hardware Store

HAYNES HARDWARE STORE


Some rope and tape—
To tie the Clutter Family up
Nice and real tight, honey

We’ll skip the fucking—
Catholic nun’s black nylons
For masks, says Dick

It’ll be dark by then—
There in Holcomb, Kansas
At the rich Clutter Joint

It’s a long drive, honey—
But this old Chevy will
Get us there that’s for sure
