face down on the concrete
eyes frozen in place
that secret you're keepin'
frozen there, on your face
fire on a wire
frayed rope in your hand
impotent the desire
to get up again
*
seems you're being erased
*
flies swarm your intentions
mitigating the malodor
jugular venous distention
has you prostrate on the floor
a poor taste in humour
a play on words in bad taste
some would call you a late bloomer
a victim of games yet to face
Comeuppance has found you
and those who know you will smile
at one time playing the fool
everything comes round in good time
A/N: Humor / Humour: An older medical term for bodily liquids (such as blood or bile).
Comeuppance is a noun that means a deserved, fair, and often satisfying punishment or retribution for someone's bad actions or arrogance
