B B

inspired by the hit television series, Breaking Bad

Dear BB, you've sucked the life from me.

Though I've tried many times to walk away,

you've mocked my usual state of tenacity.

Gripped me with intrigue, 

pulled on my heartstrings,

made the clock laugh at me,

and mocked my relentlessness.

Oh, American TV, have you ever produced this level of brilliance?

I venture to challenge a conjecture.

What I once thought to be a farce has cast its spell

on this skeptical, critical highbrow.

And oh, BB...you've done it so well.

Author's Note

BB has sucked the life from me
though, I've tried, many times, to walk away,
it has mocked my usual state of tenacity.
Gripped me with intrigue,
pulled on my heart strings,
made the clock laugh at me,
and mocked my relentlessness.
Oh, American TV, have you ever produced this level of brilliance?
I venture to challenge a conjecture.
What I once thought to be a farce has cast its spell
on this skeptic and critic.
And, oh BB, you've done it so well.
