open up
a little wider
hmm a little more
please

there
— perfect!

now take your
size 9 shoe
shove it so far

inside your mouth
that the big toe
point keeps
on a path
to collide
with one intimate
wrecking
ball

words
without a filter
can destroy
an innocent
unassumed
victim

but what of the one
who stated such phrases
from a point of honesty?
an inner conflict exist
between what is said
and from the place
it came from

no malice
riddled with sorrow
at the pain caused

— forgiveness
from a kind heart
elevates anxious
trepidation

but what of the script
that plays itself
over and over
.i. .n. .s. .i. .d. .e.
the non-predators
ridiculous
brain

stop
rewind
play

stop
rewind
play

stop
fast forward
play

stop
rewind
play

stop
stoP
stOP
sTOP

blood hell
STOP already!!!

an endless loop
of innocent
stupidity
