| Wake up! Fire Engines are at your door, sirens pierce earbone, neighbor's eyes open with apprehension my words sucked into a vacuum of alarm. Is it False? Foot beats on the third floor drum like marcher's steps kennel cat's hair on end I've made no motion I sit motionless. Shall I go? thoughts occur, possibilities smoke a joint and take a shot let the flames come to me! take me up with you high. Shall I die? possessions, attachments appointments, payments personalities, relationships a fire woman knocks on my door "You must go!" I am invisible! she goes next door smoke stink scares me invades under door. is it time? pop open window I am here! I am crying. Let me cry is it time? |
