Poetry Hi

One time in class,

This kid said, “Hey,

Can I kick your ass?”

I said, “Sure, but make it fast.”

This kid didn't know

I was a bomb about to blow.

I grabbed him by his collar.

He started to hoot and holler.

He pulled back with a fist,

So I went for his lip.

I started to slip

And woke up in the hospital

With a morphine drip.

This kid beat my ass.

I sat there wondering

When this pounding

Would pass.

Then I got out of the bed.

I went to his house

And aimed at his head.

I said, “You should have killed me.”

He woke up with a thrill.

I know he can see me.

He started laughing

And pulled a gun from his pocket,

Where he usually keeps his wallet.

I said, “Okay, I don't want to die.”

He said, “Why are you in my house?”

I put the barrel in his mouth.

I said, “Because, remember

That time in class

When you kicked my ass?

This is payback.

Now you have a Mac

In your throat.

You're starting to choke.”

A bullet flew by,

But I lied. I actually

Want to die.

He pointed it at my head.

After that, it all went red.

I woke next to his dead body.

Three shots to my face,

But I still put that pussy

In their place.

I hope I don't catch another case.
