THE RIDE
“I was alive!” Walter White/Heisenberg, “Breaking Bad”,
I know Shelley
I know
Ozymandias
I know what it is like
to scrape the flesh
off my knees
falling from grace.
Hitting thick snow
can compensate
for the lack
of a parachute
sometimes
a single bullet
is enough
to do
what is required,
what was
requested
sometimes, along
for the ride,
you get to
survive a
full load
everything that hits,
every round in the clip.
