Poem-A-Day: Day 151

A Dog Eat Idiot World

bit by a dog
deep down
and watched the blood flow
without a care in the world
laughing
gritting teeth through the pain
no pain
just gritted teeth
clenched hard
swelling cheeks
hard as iron
stern
the blood flowing
not a single care
just a scarlet brook
running down the mountains
and the valleys
that call themselves the arm
running down
to fingertips
dangling cherry stalactites
leaving a trail
failure
at not being able to bite back
