Two-Fisted Nightmare© 2002 Loaded sawed-off shotgun, no handle on what's real, Prodded by the demons, mostly imagined, Hallucinating madly, vengeance with a zeal A schizophrenic drifter, he blows into Cowtown, Midnight, early August, ex-girlfriend to find. Taps lightly on her window, smiles tentatively. Not surprised to see him, he's been on her mind. She goes to the back door, not ready for a bullet, But his name's been written, saved in MS-Word. He fires pointblank, the buckshot goes right through her, Takes her out with one blast, his power averred. A blood-red Camaro, stolen for the highway, Her ghost riding shotgun in every car he's passed. One glance into the rear-view, Devil hot-pursuing In a Chevy pickup, red claws on the dash. Sometime tomorrow morning, someone will find her Note on her computer, the madman's fate to seal. Houston pawnshop ticket, no clemency for madness; In Huntsville, six months later, the chair with no appeal. |
