am a series of small combustions
waiting to detonate,

set off by consecutive chain reactions
ready to go off at a moment's notice just by a lit fuse

strike the match

and watch the sparks consume
me from within.

(I'll leave you in the dust breathing in ashen regret and gunpowder, leaving traces of [toxic] smoke.)
