In the Meantime

I’m waiting. Watching you, watching me.
I wonder, what you’ll tell the jury
When they’re deciding your fate?
Will you even make it to trial?
I see you cowering in some dark corner
After the dirty thoughts have fled from your wild mind 
Sucking on your fate, fetal style 
Now that you’ve done the deed.
My scent still fresh on your lizard scales
Excitement gives way to terror 
When you remember all of your mistakes 
Of trace evidence 
Pointing its bony finger, right at you!
Oh, but the ecstasy! Finality of it all!
You did it! You really did it!
