Stillness
So I’m sitting in the handbasket, with rocket fuel in the tank.
Someone’s standing nearby with a flamethrower.
And shit’s going to get real when they figure out how to use it.
I expect that will happen within the hour.
So I’m taking this final quiet moment to ponder something.
All I have to say is this.
I have plans at 9:30 p.m. Yes, a school night.
I’d better be on time, damn it.
Hope the handbasket is intact enough to get me there.
