A Twist In Life

Sitting

beneath a banyan tree,

a fulgid fluid spoiled my shirt:

fresh blood.

Eating

a sinful chocolate cake,

something stirred under the creamy layer:

a lizard.

Climbing

inside a crowded bus,

an eerie silence greeted my arrival:

no faces.

Going

on my first date,

her toothy smile left me chilled:

lady Dracula.

Sleeping

with my latest girlfriend,

a cold object stuck my chest:

dead hand.

Driving

on a lonely highway,

a flash of lightning revealed everything:

world's end.

Jogging

along a rocky shore,

a soiled paper caught my eye:

my poem.
