The Ambush

by Nigel Astell

entry picture

Weather forecast given

clear as mud

sunbeam window gaze

Summer says hello

coming out today?

white T-shirt, jeans

ready in seconds

halfway down street

dark as night

realizing minimal protection

ambushed without mercy

fast and furious

I returned home

the Gods laughed.
