[Return to Poems to Intrigue and Annoy List]



The Waiting Room

Lorrie Ransom

Nixa, Missouri




vaiN

Up-chucked imaginations

Tentacles that strangle

DON'T THEY



Pulsing

and

Growing



Once scabbed over

They itch

DON'T TOUCH

Or

fondle the rough edges



Brewing

and

Stewing



YANK

Suck the blood

Taste the wound

Lick its juices free



Pace and pant

Post-obsessive rant

Now

Within

Start again
