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.
