Seven Days Later

A reflection in verse

Toss me from a window,
push me off a pier,
shoot me from a cannon — 
Get me out of here.

Smash me with an anvil,
blast me into space,
hang me from the rafters — 
Take me from this place.

Slice me into ribbons,
poison what I eat,
drown me in the ocean — 
I admit defeat.

Tie me to the train tracks,
clog my mouth with stuff,
close my eyes forever — 
Please, I’ve had enough.
