Strike Three

Out of the corner of your mouth, ,

it comers ,

it screams

but all we wanted was more open windows,

I understand this and can articulate this now,

I have a semblance of a jaw now,

despite the circumference and everything it took to get there,

it could be more,

all at once,

it could be more,,,,,

with additional contributors and ghost writers and semicolons, too.

Jack the ripper

and a laugh track, and viper,

it could be more…

on repeat too,

with the proper spacing, probably,

it was jack the ripper,

it landed center, middle, maybe .

it landed a little to the left, maybe

and it feels GREAT coming out of the barrel,,,,,

as it leaves my hand,

as those stiches abrade my fingers as I attempt what’s left of a curveball.

bullseye.

strike three.

(Despite the spacing ) ( Long pause)

worry about me,,,,,

bullseye.
