Words

Are they like toxins

Which the body must expel?

Is this a natural requirement

Of this thing I call brain?

—-

And do I really choose my victim?

Or just fire buckshot

At whoever

Stands in my way?

—-

And do I care?

—-

Why would I care?

For others

If not

For my self?

—-

Just need to release the words,

Before they burn a hole

In my soul.
