Button To Selfdestruct Poem by Rob Knetsch

it is there
right in front of her
it is red and it is round
she stares at it and no
it isn't staring back at here

she looks at it
with her hands on her back
trying to remember
trying to decide
making the right decision

there is no way back
if she decides to push
she knows she is aware
that it would stop all
but it would also end

she tries to bring her hand
forward toward the button
but she can't remember
is she righthanded
or lefthanded
