Game 32

​CHI 115               TOR 113

I don’t
Bleed
Like I used to.

I’m forgetting
How it feels
When that lever
Gets thrown.

Ssscchhhuunnk!

The car
Switches tracks
To barrel through a tunnel.

And everything is dark
Except for the one thing.

Rattlingly still.
Alarmingly quiet.

Blind outside
The rifle’s scope.

A snapshot
In an earthquake.

That’s how I remember it.

Blood is a power button.
On or off
Depends on the machine.
