Like A Ton of Bricks

Like A Ton of Bricks

Asian Black Belt, my camera Lens swallows you like Jonah.

Your minute, vulnerable elbow lifts (relax - focus - click)

No! Elbows and bricks don’t mix! I’ll have a photo soon,

Of fractured radius and ulna bones, a hot balloon

Of fear implodes my lungs. Teacher, do not adopt

This jepardous stunt! Bony guillotine drops -

/shutter click/ a Geyser of brick, stone chips. Oh, Wow!

You, pollen-skinned, arch-eyed ornamental beauty, I guess

Things just fall for your naturally, kid,

I sure did (thanks for the photo), I sure did.
