Booby-trap

Booby-trap


It required only seconds for him,
but my concern wasn’t flight.
Security has its intellectual brilliance,
if you fail to recognize it tonight.

The whole damned staff stumbled
on the truth but it was far too late by then.
"It’s all right, I know you believe
you mean it", she said at the gate.
She’s alright.
But no, that’s not quite accurate.
Our celebration party was an absolute
blast and nearly a hundred people had
already arrived at the hotel
but where was she when I needed her?

I found my car
booby-trapped with dynamite,
and three days later it was
still raining,
and I didn’t know
her last name that night,
so I ran away to Colorado.
