gorilla

By Vin Davis

 

sometimes it gets so stagnant
and you know it’s coming
but all you can do is lay there

it’s like a 400 lb gorilla
hanging over your head
by a strand of dental floss

and you can’t move

because your arms and legs
have been amputated

you’re sobbing
then you’re laughing

you’re exhausted

and the pain of waiting
is so excruciating
you just want to scream out,

“you hairy motherfucker
just drop already!”
