One of them grabbed her bag.
One cut the strap,
with what she described as
at least
a two foot Bowie knife.
While still another
come up from behind
blindsiding her
with a hit
to her upper back,
sending her to the floor
face first
smashing
and breaking her nose.
Leading to a two week stay at
St Vincent’s,
three surgeries
and an unbelievable dislike
for Woody Allen
and his films.
Who she said
one of them,
the one who cut the strap
looked exactly like.

You gave great description of this story and immediately I was just drawn right in. I love when writes are powerful enough to do that.
Great Write and Thank You for your entry -
wow, this described vividly such a horrible incident, It used such descriptive vocabulary to create the scene.
Thanks for entering, good luck in my contest [=

I really do like the way you combine urban realism with poetry. The very irrational (yet understandable) aversion to Woody Allen and his films as a result of the lady's experience is a masterfully human touch.
