Swimming In Gasoline

Anthony Hanible

Sorry 

Problems 

I can't afford 

A walking 

Talking bomb 

Staying calm 

Is my top

Probably my only choice 

An Atomic boomerang

Eye for death

Details in the paper work 

No ability 

To

Think 

Feel

Act

Clearly 

Watch for egg shells 

Watch the smoke 

One spark 

Is all it takes 

When you're 

Swimming In Gasoline

    Don't mention that had it happen to me. Not a pleasant experience. A poem that evokes feelings of trepidation nicely done.

  • Poetic Licence

    A nicely expressed write of the feeling of being right on the edge, one move and it all blows up, nicely done
