Poesy
From "Skyscraper Apocalypse"

Author's Links


Two months before the terrorist attack
a 16-year-old walked into a hospital
in New York City
handed the receptionist a note--
"Please donate my organs in case of death"
then blew his brains out in front of her.
Six hours later his removed eyes
were transplanted into empty eye-sockets
of a 60-year-old woman
blind since birth
who two months later
turns on morning TV to see
skyscraper apocalypse.

A week before the terrorist attack
a woman stopped her car
on a bridge in Seattle
during morning rush hour traffic,
got out, climbed over the railing,
stood on the ledge looking down.
Commuters caught in the traffic jam
fearing they'd be late for work
started yelling "Jump! Jump!"
even started making a banner
encouraging her to jump
till she finally did.

The terrorist at the controls
and his fellow terrorists
in the cockpit
had big grins as the jet
slammed
into the skyscraper
believing they were instantly transported
to an endless orgasm
in a paradise of beautiful girls
because their suicide terrorism
was a heroic martyrdom
that made God happy.
