In all the years we've known one another
You've never played the part of assassin
Are you aiming for my head or my heart
...
A product of the late 70's
Another child of the 80's
Teenager of the early 90's
Adult of....Any day now

I was leaning forward
Reaching for a wad of paper
Your cat brought it to me
She wanted me to throw it
...
I would find it hilarious
That someone so nefarious
Has forcibly taken control
Of the world's supply of petrol
...
A murder of crows congregate in my dooryard
They accost me on the way to the garage
Avian trick-or-treaters all clad in the same costume
Questioning my lack of edible garbage lately
...
My face felt hot
Not daring to look up
Knowing you were staring
...
An attempted murder, one might say
The intended target of the attack
My trusting nature and naivete
...
Out, damned thought!
Out I say!
A stain upon my brain
...
I have a lovely name
Although I do not use it
I have a pretty face
