I knew a guy,

Talking to him,

It was like

Walking through a minefield –

One wrong move

– BOOM –

One wrong word

He would explode

“Why would you step there!!”

As if others planted the explosives;

He was a landscape destroyed,

Wrecked by his own devices.

Abandoned.

People stopped walking there,

Until he became the trenches of WW1

Haunted and forgotten.
