The Luncheon of the Sixth Spell
Two benches poised as statues
A hue of nebulous brown
A seat upon which none can refuse
An individual obliged to sit down
Yet upon these two benches
Perched already are two souls
Both consuming their own lunches
With two contrasting roles
One thrives on social engagement
With fingers that fly like fowl
A personality quite flagrant
Speaking with a distinguishable howl
In comparison the other appears reclusive
Yet speak of something in which she be keen
And her intellect becomes illusive
Resulting in a rather thought-provoking scene
These seats are where these two doth land
Placed adjacent with each other
As if arranged by an unseen hand
Who desires a collision of two who be so disparate and asunder
Tensions betwixt the pair noticeably build
As strikes are made with upmost tenacity
The two are undoubtedly skilled
And fight with noticeable vivacity
And here I stand, a wretched spectator
Forced against my own desire
To be thy knowing narrator
And a witness of this unyielding fire
The battle wounds me to my core
But unable to move my cemented feet
I am forced to remain amongst the gore
A being no more than obsolete
In no man’s land is my place
Salvation dependent on the toll of the bell
The struggle rages on as I attempt to keep a straight face
Oh how I can’t wait to escape this Hell
