Wishing Lightning To Strike [3rd Revision] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Wishing Lightning To Strike [3rd Revision]



Can’t go on with throbbing ankle and ringing ears,
went for a stroll to escape the chicken coop noise
noise driving me mad, road-works in a narrow lane
- and I did not see the concrete slab ready to catch
imbeciles who do not realise death is waiting there

Walked slap-dam into it, hurt my right ankle real bad,
limped back to the office where break offers respite
until auxiliary staff return to babble on their phones
endlessly, every sound reverberating inside my head,
my ankle throbs in tandem with my head and this is

A stab at my psyche, a concrete slab waiting to inflict
pain & the scrape on my skin is burning, how can life
turn violent so fast, I am all aches and my heart is sore
and I am bored - analysing forms when feeling bad is
impossible and auxiliary Mimi is back and already

Talking full volume, I feel the throbbing increase taking
over my life, fill my universe and make me still – maybe
I’m meditating and that is good, apparently it will move
the world into a new state of peace when restless souls
like me manage to focus on spiritual feats so the New

Aquarian Age can begin, I only hope that wishing for
lightning to strike the concrete slab and auxiliaries
does not stop the New Age in its tracks…
