The Twirler
Understanding life has becum a loaded Revolver..
I sit in sweaty head swirl
Waiting, nails chewed down bloody to quick..
Waiting, for the roll to complete and
Click...
Fearful of the next bit of future that exists in a smoking chamber.
My spin spin mind causes a reckless revolution..
The cold steel of wide awake
And eyes that shake in frightened strain..
Five shots fired this life roulette and what remains ..
A gamblers state of mind and my hand full of wild cards..
I have placed my bet..
Regret? Yes, great unease exists in living and let...my chips free fall .
Hard pain floods temple to throb throb beat...
Turn of bad card "click" I spring to my feet..
Desperate for the upper hand and I hard resolve to be my own executioner...
My mind in its thick hurricane fog of pollution...too much.
Yes...far far too much.
My twirl mind has spun this bitch into a suicide pitch..
I reach and face drains white.
Oh God. Am stunned...
So cold and I sink down the red wall..
Realisation: I do not have a gun
For competition...I dont have a gun...
(No worries. I am not suicidal...😁)
