autobiography [2013]

the song is “Barracuda”
as a light rain falls

I am crouching behind
a spool of telephone cable

visions of S.W.A.T.
Logan's Run
and Baa Baa Black Sheep
occupy my mind

(the children approaching me
from behind
are heavily armed)

I am caught by surprise
and captured

this will later be known as
the best day of my life
