[ SK ] Four Hundred Rounds

  
Rapid fire shots in the full dark
missing wide their mark  
   
Need for accuracy abandoned  
on the straight and narrow  
warpath  
   
Can't keep your loosed facts straight
---each arrow an alternative story arc  
   
A raging automaton in your wrath  
   
Anathematic to the last
