STRIKE ONE

if the poem (this poem,
any poem,

freaks you, takes
you out

feel reassured
be happy that all
can call
it
collateral damage

for my part
   condolence and
commiseration
that it
strikes you
     out of the blue

as it is
meant to exactly

getting the retaliation
in early, serving
       your revenge up
               first
