be prepared

be prepared

hungry dog eats 
'til it explodes

man destroys a house 
to make his home

students insist 
there’s nothing to learn

bottoms don't fit 
seats twenty years old

be prepared 
don't be scared
it gets close
it gets weird  

will's on a hinge 
swinging on a binge
straight through 
an open door

another question 
strips the system

another section 
gone missing

I was a girl scout 
didn’t merit badges

did the research 
never published

pitched a tent 
settled damages

mangling oaths
under my breast
