I could be a flash fiction with
a crash course
elocution and
my diction would be perfect
good enough in fact to direct
traffic on the freeway.

They say it's only blood and guts
no ifs and definitely,
but it's wound up far too tightly
and the spring's about to burst.

I watched until the scene played out
on Netflix and then round about
six of the clock went into failure
what a shock but not to them

them being the engineers of men
the DNA that wins the day

I want to be a feature
or an unidentifiable
Loch Ness creature
to be a tourist attraction has attractions
that attract me
in spite of or because of
I'm still waiting for the flash,
but if it's fiction or it's cash
I eat the cake
