FoundA Poem by MerakiYo! One word in the chaos A flick of the wrist A jerk of the head And I follow What happened? Silence That kind of night huh? Damn I was hoping it'd be an easy one Guess those days are over Who am I kidding? They've been over. How's the wife and kids? Andrew doing well in school? What about Katie? Lights flash Reporters They swarm like flies to a corpse Huh? Ah, Andy has his sights set on traveling and girls So you can imagine where school ranks on that list And Katie got herself a boyfriend I don't agree with it I met the kid he's decent but not for her But her mother told me to stay out of it Hey, Tom what's this all about anyway? Whadda the kids have to do with the case, hm? Nothing Pass one more tent and that's the center The reason for all this Hey, Tommy! Did you hear me? 'Cause I heard me. I don't wanna talk about the case Not yet Not talk about the case? Tommy we're on the case! Fill me in would ya? I want you to make your own opinion An alarm goes off He's scared Out of the cover into the rain The grass squishes Pools of water mark the trail Up the concrete and into the brick The Labs scurry around Hoarding everything they can Alright then, But the least you could do Is tell me how we came to be here Fine. The janitor called it in Mr. Reyes or Reynolds Something like that Turn here, turn there Up the stairs through the central doors And I see it I wish I hadn't She's surrounded by Labs S**t, I can't even process it Fifteen years and it just gets worse She could've been doing some sort of yoga pose If her chest wasn't split open Limbs bent Contorted and conformed to awkward angles Her lungs Oh God why? Silence Save for the quiet collecting Scavenging Of the Labs A few seconds tick by He's watching me I turn away Back the way I came Somewhere else Not this room I understand why he didn't want to talk I wouldn't have either Not about that But still He could've warned me
