Under Pressure

Storm swelling
Prison cell
Accumulating ammunition
Bunk-mate derision
Jaws-of-life or a knife
Contemplating escape
Another murder
A murder/suicide
Push Pull Pound
Fists through bars
Mindmuck misanthropy
Viral decay

The coming day of freedom will
bring a violent release
The next named storm of the season on
every news station in town

I’ve always known him as
Bill
He was just another neighbor
A husband A father
He used to cut our grass

Nobody knows what broke that man
I guess eventually
your fuse just runs out

- BOOM -
and it’s over.
