Your Entrance Versus Pompeii

(A Variation of: Your Departure Versus the Hindenburg by Kenneth Koch) Every time you enter the room I see it as an extension of Pompeii That great 76 A.D. volcano erupting In molten lava like a 2-liter of soda exploding after it has been shaken. When you enter a room, people run in fear to hide from your presence.
