A Patriot's Act
In the midst of a mid-morning rush
a middle manager shreds lettuce
for her ceasar salad
simotaneously selling shares of stock
from her sprint phone.
Seemingly never tongue-tied
yet tettering betwixed business boon
and bankruptcy.
In her haste and high heels headed
for a fall foward, only to keep her feet.
In the next moment she wretched back,
sure to lose them.
She was not all whole.
As her face flushed the flip phone
fell to the floor,
muffle-mouthed gargles interpret
into garbled screams.
Mascara runs in the same fashion
as the crimson tear-dropped from
her lips,
remaniscent of cult classic vamps.
This was no faux Fangoria,
her essence spurted onto the
deathbed of lettuce.
Overlooking her liberties the lady
jumps at the site of her severed tongue.
Her eyes widen as if some grizzly mystery
exposed a betrayl of her senses,
while the tongue wriggled and salivated
in caesar salad dressing
flopping,
whrithing in a whisper,
"Et tu, Brute?"
She was searching.
A call to action, a call to arms.
A call to 911.
Her impending doom towered over,
but she knew there were those
to answer the call of duty.
Those who would come to mend her
in the face of death.
Such deep dependence,
undoubtedly the death of one death
brings a dual demise.
Several sadistics surely would take
satisfaction in the subtraction.
Yet swiftly slice off her salary
due to her silenced state.
Satanic swines believe workman's comp
is a backstabbing competition.
However, she collects herself,
calm cool and comtemplative.
Full of pride her head held high
and waited.
Holding back the plasma,
her lips a levy.
How long before the jawline
cracks the body of Katrina?
She wasn't phazed,
In her afghan she stands,
Closed eye, racked with pain,
as if her very culture bleeds.
She is still trying to hold back the blood,
dripping and pooling.
Desperate to be mended,
to be liberated by the savior of her free speech.
She is still waiting.
