BANG! up to action BANG! rising panic adrenalin BANG! swiftly to the window BANG! fluorescent yellow jackets they're here BANG! its the back door set the barricade BANG! will it hold? not for long BANG! they've come later than usual BANG! we'd thought not today BANG! we'd dropped our guard prepared food BANG! a meal cooked in vain BANG! the barricade starts to fail BANG! our bodies flung at the metal door BANG! summon strength hold it closed BANG! successive impacts rattle our bones BANG! screaming now rage and pain BANG! "open the door!" **** you!!" BANG! we wont make it easy for them BANG! but we know how this ends BANG! our home in chaos frantic packing BANG! save the tools we'll need them BANG! they're our keys to a new home BANG! our foes advance on another door BANG! they're determined so are we BANG! it breaks the door opens SLAM! somehow we kick it back shut SILENCE they've stopped why? VOICES the other door they're in.
