Final Midnight Straw Maltese Falcon
Happens like that sometimes
Sneaks up on a person
One minute watching an old movie

Next minute you see it
That final, irrevocable straw

The one
You never saw coming
Blindsided by friendship

Bogart couldn't even fix it
With a Maltese falcon in tow,
Trusted by Myrna Loy no less

Speaking of The Thin Man
William Powell redux
Asta, detective pup
Never suspected a thing

Peter Lorre never laid eyes on it

Tomorrow is today
January to June
1936, to be exact, and Harlow is still gone...
