Idiot Kid
Watch by the window
Wait at the dock
The signal will color the sky
Red smoke so bleak and stale
Paper thin and deathly pale
Dripping in sand, caked with dust
An ornery frame of spite and rust
Blinded by fury, the vengeful ghost
Possessed by a raging vampy host
Acting out the standard way
Of an adolescent hateful stray
Fists balled so comically tight
With an axe in hand and hand in fight
Villainy rides a racing heart
Of an idiot kid who gets too smart
