"Jump or Burn" (Free verse) by horus8
"Jump or burn?"
Huh... How weird is that?
In a building filling with smoke.
Hundreds of feet above the street.
What will all of those people think?
I think, as I watch my co-workers
lemming towards the stairwells
and suffocation by inhilation.
"Jump or Burn?"
Fuck it then (I pull out my Bic)
Lighting myself on fire
I run around in small circles
Taking the pain as I am engulfed in flames.
"Jump or Burn?"
Now I'll jump.
I'm a control freak.
I'm an entertainer.
