Every Now And Then, A Noose
Every now and then a noose
drops from the sky and strangles a guy
right before he can say the three
most important words of his life.
Now when that happens - as his feet
kick out sideways and he's lifted
hovering a foot off the earth,
twisting, trying to make gurking noises
("gurk! gurk!") eyes bugging out,
neck straining, head back unable
to see the rope, to see what its attached to -
what is going through his mind? Is it
"oh no - no! Not now! I did not get
the chance to tell her: 'I love you'?"
Fuck no. It's "get this fucking noose
off me!" I mean, let's be real here.
Love is a luxury you can only pause
to consider when you're not in the process
of being being choked to death
by
a
mysterious
airborne
noose.
