Shrapnel

by Scott Holstad


Thank Eli Lily, Not Me

I saw teeth on a string this
week, and they were
heavier than your average
bodybags. At least the
fellow with them
thought so.

I am not a true killer,
yet I've done so
thousands of times
in my mind. Fortunately,
for some, the Lithium and
Zyprexa are working pretty
damn well. They're
tempering my impulses
to go out there and
rip your fucking eyeballs
out.
