Ericka's poem
I had a need to write this at 3:59 AM
Ericka
My air is her
I breathe in every memory of her
She is so beautiful
No one can mess with her
I believe she is the best
Her eyes will tell you the rest
Her hair
On my chest
I contest
Look at her
She is mine
Was mine
Jackpot, she said
I watched in awe
Never mind, she basically said
I watched in awe
Ericka
My air is her
She is so beautiful
Her poem is enough
So fly
My darling
You are flying
I hope you land on me again
I could use an angel with wings
Her mighty feathers
Weathers a sad face
Ericka
My air is her
Her poem is enough
Her music is enough
I hope she hears mine
Sees my rhymes
I see yours
I hear reflections of me in time
Her smile, her style
Her laugh, her monotone voice that makes me laugh when she is annoyed
Enough of that, she is self-employed
Just kidding, I have no idea
Ericka
My air is her
Her smile, her style
Her self expressions make me drool
Her savageness, very potent
Omni-potent, omni-directional
She deserves
Only the best
Ericka
My air is her
She deserves the best
But sadly, my best is not enough
Her test is strong
She wants a contemporary man
I am, but living in the past
My mind, on the future
My feet, on burnt ashes
Ericka
My air is her
Her test is strong
My best is wrong
Restart the song
I am, the song
Ericka
My air is her
I am, the song
She is, the microphone and the speaker
The karaoke machine
Ericka
My air is her
She is, 21% oxygen
Just kidding
She is, 70% water
Ericka
My air is her
Just kidding
My love is her
My love is for her

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
