At the Moment of Escape
There are many things to consider
before you Tarzan from tongue to tonsil
down the inflammatory throat of a fugitive fire
pulsing its polyps
on your living room floor;
of which, exactly none, translate at all
to the flat-lining blue found in hospital gowns
or those cowering through
a yellowing brick of recycled
notebook paper.
