Alarm.
I'll just keep hitting the snooze button
on this alarm poem.
it's back to bed for at least another fifteen.

Alarm
Five inches now from freedom
Four years scraping at the underside of roots
Three dozen smuggled dinner spoons, and I’m still yet to break through
Two lives I hadn’t taken
One Jury that took mine
Five appeals all overthrown
Four years since I’ve seen my wife
Three alarms now sounding, as I run through the courtyard span
Two guards now open fire
One bullet meets the back of this innocent man
-Ryan Baker
Alarm
"I wonder what you're like when you're sweet."
"Oh, well my smile sends feeble men three-quarters way to death.
I drain riverbeds, strip land from peasants and place it in the hands of thieves.
I'd hate to alarm you with that kind of chaos.
I'd hate to see the madness my kindness could bring.
And that's why I never show you darling.
The world itself would fall apart!
God, what a stupid thing to say to me.
I'm sorry I'm not as affectionate as you'd like me to be."
Yes... I wonder indeed.

I hear the alarm ring,
ReplyDeleteto my left is a Tiger,
to my right, a velociraptor,
I know that I will be dead soon,
They run at me after the alarm rings,
the velociraptor exploded my intestines out of my stomach with one effortless swipe of his kicker claw it so gory and actually loud when my guts pop out the tiger gets scared and just runs off,
so holy shit, this is so painful,
the velociraptor eats my guts in front of me,
I keep thinking to myself "oh sick",
I wish it would just kill me but it just eats my guts,
I see a look on its face that I was afraid to see,
it is full....
I wait to bleed to death since the velociraptor is full and I wished it would have just eaten my head first.
