The warning was felt lingering in the air…

Two Shakes
by Michael Romani

Two shakes
Rattle snakes
Warning's in the air
Tick tock
Says the clock
And soon the time's not there

Mirrored wall
Cracked in awe
Pride takes its fall
An invitation
To consultation
Borne in irritation

It's an imposition
Broken in inquisition
To peer deep inside
Phobias of interest
Joined in their congress
Taken for this ride

An unhappiness
Bred from its emptiness
That overwhelms denial
Things spoken out of school
Reveals the fool
Another victim of style
