Exquisite Corpse, Installment 1
Construct Your Own Self-Defense
He thinks you're a prowler in his summer home
So he paddles in the serene dawn, blind to hidden currents,
unaware that below the glassy surface
an alligator lurks to claim his prey.
Hold back his teeth to keep him away
from the cataract, the lethal fangs of rocks, the certain
pull and force of inevitable falls, just beyond
the grinning hippos and furious rapids, past
the staircase that you used to call home.
