Finale

Finale

Pushing pace.
You’re in my way.
I’m changing lanes.
You had no faith.

I run all flats, no tire tracks.
I won’t regret, not coming back.

Now I’ve got my brass and swallowed my silver.
I’ve had my war, and I defended my pillbox.
I’ve thrown my stone and caught my knife.

No honey I’m not turning round tonight.

And I know that it’s not fair on you.
But you should have checked that attitude.
You should have checked that your safety’s off.
Couldn’t help yourself like a pig in a trough.

Pushing pace and changing lanes.
And clenching my favourite brass bullet case.
I grin to the mirror, this bittersweet – Justice.

Served cold.
On a crimson plate.

And I push myself, to the edge of the cliff.
No hypocrisy or sacrilege.
No permanent or visual reminders.
No open doorway.
Or strangers’ kindness.

Not anymore.
And never again.

Nicely penned Fish.

It sounds like this one definitely had to go.
