Losing It

coachchris

Faintly I still hear
those valuable words written
in this violent jungle
you might get snake bitten

Step around carefully
or you might drown in sand
when you reach for something
you'll lose your precious hand

Write those words carefully
on your empty piece of paper
keep it to yourself now
or you'll lose it to the reeper

And when he crushes your membrane
with his feet and fists
ask yourself why
you continue to write this
