Not So Brillo
Ammunition,
Ornate glass,
Shot gun shells.
Just smoke.
Mouth to mouth.
Resuscitation.
Smoothe lips,
Butane,
Medicated Blistex.
Just resin.
Cashed my check.
Bankruptcy.
Wool sweater,
Blue steel,
Wash machines.
Just foil.
Tongue in cheek.
Pharmacy.
Narcan Man saved Grace,
Shot her on the sofa.
First responders rollin' out
Stretcher lady in a coma.

This is really powerful. I like how every point is short, like a punch, hitting home each and every line. Definitely felt.

I adore this poem, 'tis top notch! The third stanza was the highlight for me, I love how it is written.
