"Robb''in" turns a close call into a rush of disbelief, boulevard debris, dreamlike honey, guns, and a return toward a wanted river.
The corrected reading makes the page more coherent without smoothing its rough language. Robbery becomes a moving scene of shock and escape, where the body of the poem keeps sliding between accident, violence, and remembered desire.
Robb'in (sic). It was so close — she shouted, I can't believe it. The bracelet left on the Boulevard — that would be beer and the least of the dream. Rolling like honey out of a gallon tin. We went through the stop and I remember the guns blowing us all the way back to the river we wanted anyway.
