Steem-Pocalypse Poetry Day 5--Round 1

Appendages

Maybe we’re foolhardy.
Lucky in meeting one another,
feeling lucky
with a dude with a chainsaw.
Maybe not the best idea.

But I’m sick of not trusting.
Mistrust is one of the ills
that led us here.
Cannibalizing one another.
A physical manifestation
of a societal, spiritual sickness.

Still, getting killed
by a chainsaw
is probably horrific.
Certainly for an onlooker,
and one of us would have to.

Two. We are two.
He is one and a half.
(I count the chainsaw as a half life.)
We could take him
and win over the chainsaw.
A little pet of our own.
