Kim Rodrigues Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

Okay, so I was watching the musical Chicago yesterday. 

I Should Have the Sheets Replaced

I SHOULD HAVE THE SHEETS REPLACED

A wild reckless time in bed.
I should have the sheets replaced.
The smoke outlasts recoiled lead.
Sordid act shot off in haste.

I should have the sheets replaced.
Toxic smell of blood’s vivid.
Sordid act shot off in haste.
I can’t believe I’ve lived it.

Toxic smell of blood’s vivid.
Handcuffs on the one I loved.
I can’t believe I’ve lived it.
Brought him to the brink and shoved.

Handcuffs on the one I loved.
The smoke outlasts recoiled lead.
Brought him to the brink and shoved.
A wild reckless time in bed.
