In My Mind ~ Poetry

Body Language

They laugh heartily with their swollen bellies.
They drink greedily with their stinking mouths.
They adjust themselves with their filthy hands.
They look around like hunters with their nasty eyes.

And I watch.

They step out of rooms proudly with their wandering feet.
They step in cautiously with their outstretched arms.
They move on to other victims with their hairy legs.
They knock girls out with their ego inflated heads.

And I watch.

I read their body language to know when;
I need to know when.
So I huddle down in my bed real low and
hold it tightly in my hand.
He walks in cautiously with his outstretched arms.

I step out of the room proudly with my clean feet.
I step in others cautiously with my raised arm.
I move on to others with steady legs.
I knock girls out so they don't see me with a bloody head.

I look around like a hunter with my killer eyes.
I adjust the handle with my bloody hand.
I drink greedily with my dry mouth.
I laugh heartily with my full belly.

And they watch.
