Cyanide (Almonds II)
One of my old almond poems, here for the Extraterrestrial 2023 Challenge

The deception of almonds
Is like cyanide between my teeth
I expect something crunchy
But instead I get squeaks
Almonds leave me breathless
Restless and weak
One more try for the crunch
JESUS FUCK ANOTHER SQUEAK
My heart rate grows rapid
I’m nauseous and vomiting
Somehow in my dizzy brain
Another almond sounds promising
