1. I open Her stitches with the dullest screwdriver available in my horrid workshop I ask her if she wants the agony to cease and she promptly responds “Stop!” Her request is denied just as my affection was rejected through paper, red ink, and hollow apologies 2. I assail Him with with a hammer until bony shards protrude from skin The boastful **** is still breathing when I contort the lumbars of his spine This gory peacock’s skeletal feathers display my anger in all essences of its awe-inspiring glory 3. I dangle Her plump body over a chimney billowing greasy smoke She attempts to strike deals for mercy and I respond with a choke The bargaining persists all the way down until rollicking flames turn her mouth into silky ribbons of ash 4. The Next frequently indulges in unspeakably awful chipperness So, naturally, I make him gulp down a week’s worth of happy meds While his heart sputters, depression’s taste wipes away all traces of the a smile on his face 5. My work done, I casually stroll back home I muse on all the wicked deeds finally expunged and take out a shining Magnum The cold piece of steel turns around to face this peaceful victim, its trigger pulled in acceptance
