![]() The HandshakeA Poem by José HumildeI first hit the dude, hard on the nose. I showed him to be smart when choosing his foes.
He stared back at me, scared and dazed. He saw a man that was brutal and crazed.
I got out the blade, and struck his side. There was no room to run, no place to hide.
He cried out in agony, wanting no more. I struck his chest, and he hit the ground floor.
I stood over him for what seemed an hour. It was such a rush, I felt such a power.
The floor was moist, doused with red. I checked his pulse; he had to be dead.
I lifted his wrist to check for a beat. There was no rhythm, but he still had his heat.
I knew this was the last thing for him to deserve, but he got to me, he got on my last nerve.
I had to release the anger and hate. I knew I was right, to deliver his fate.
I let go of his hand and snapped out of my daydream. This guy is lucky I’m nice, and luckier I'm not mean. © 2010 José HumildeAuthor's Note
