Fragile


At what point does one
Wake to think,
�I believe I�ll beat my wife
to death today,
then drive off
somewhere,
place the barrel of my shotgun
beneath my chin,
and pull the trigger.�
And just what might be
The Signs.
Telling others that day approaches.
Did I see the signs
In that quiet man
As we passed in the hallway
Last Friday?
Was it given away by
His nod and smile as he
And his business were welcomed
To the building?
The way he sipped his coffee, perhaps,
As he and his partner contemplated
Arrangement of their new offices?
Or maybe by the way
He excitedly told neighboring
offices of the upcoming Open House.
In two weeks.
With all-morning coverage
By the local FM station.

He had his all-morning coverage
Two weeks early.

All Points Bulletin.

Then all-evening coverage.

Body found.
