the carcass
of a line
imbedded in your mind
stapled to your chest
the acrimony of
your blood dripping: I know,
it's not pleasant
try to think about something else,
something good
and nice
the way, oh hell,
everything seems
tainted now
staring at screens
give it up
run
head for the hills
dig a grave
bury your anger
and walk away, no
run
