Insurance
I am the .1 percent
Can’t be disinfected
I’m the tsunami
That can’t be detected
And for the house fire
That can’t be expected
They say insurance,
Get insurance
But insurance is just paper
You scribbled all over
Saying you’ll get money
When your world is over
Money’s just paper
And paper starts fires
This just complicates
And stirs in me a fire
So now you understand
I hope it’s all clear
If you lose everything
That you hold dear
Your paper won’t help you
I won’t be held liable
When I take your life
Like something easily pliable
Because I’m
About
to snap.

Games Night
Tuesday night
Games night,
Two words
Five syllables.
Conniving
Bastard.
It was just a game
That ought to have ended.
It’s Wednesday now
You’re still
A conniving bastard.
Stop it now,
Or else a different game.
Hide and seek,
You’ll never find me.
