7/20 poem: ‘threats and promises’ by Captain B

threats and promises

i can win this fight
and move mountains
just the other side
of returning to the rhythm

you can lock up your doors
but i’ll still seek and cut and
carve out my domain

fucking around no more
got fire in one hand
an atom splitter in the other
be wary the eye that stares
and has behind it a master plan

jumping off the edge of the night
i circle about the smiling moon
as my plan unfolds
my will
soon to be known

one with a bucket
a stuck pig
a girl i’m about to swoon
speeding along
i am the night train
be there soon

like a cool rhythm
a drop of cold rain
i’ll cut the cards
and part the clouds
drop down on it
going to love it
beat it
and
motherfuck it
