PLAY

she looks on
life stares back
it stares from the stands
while she plays the real game
she is the player
she is the coach
life is an onlooker

till yesterday
it played the game fer her
she lay on her lazy bums
finishin cigars one by one
looking resigned
untill opportunity came by

he pulled her up by one arm
grabbed her by the waist
and kissed her hard
she was stunned
he kissed her again
hungrily
her red gown looked faded
in comparison to her face
it was burnin
her vitality was returned to her
from being a passive spectator
she became active
she kissed him back
her nails digging into his back
they gave birth to passion and fulfillment

the four together murdered cynicism
they cozened helplessness till it was left beggin
they ran to the field
started playin
their laughter was all consuming
she was free
she ran and her blood was redder
she snattched zombie
pulled off his mask
he could breathe
the five ran asunder

the heavens saluted them
they were gods!
