I can't say for certain
that I would have
stood
side by side
and told them
they were wrong
for dancing steps
laid out by
those who strode
through town
years before
throwing daggers,
staring
darkness
between the eyes
and smiling
widely
at days that never
belonged to them.
But I hope
more than
I hope
for anything else
that I wouldn't have
let minutes
idly go by
feeding the beast
until its belly
became swollen
with a venom
that would infect
not only it
but all
that it touched
as it flailed
and thrashed
and walloped
towards a death
that couldn't come
soon enough.
