The boom begins to drop
When the other guy can’t stop
Light turns red
Blinking eye
Seconds last
For all time
The screw that’s pitched too tight
Falls to Earth, cuts short the flight
No choice fall
No win match
Lifetime stall
One way latch
With every step abdicating our power
Fatally blind, we set our nooses over
Angry oceans
Destiny or free will propels us into
Glass that shatters
Bullet hole or paper cut
Escape door has been sealed shut
Crack the door that
Cuts the air
And kills the flame
That leads us where
Finite moments
Live and breathe
Not yours to hold
But just to see
